Weeping willows form ambitious root systems that relentlessly seek underground water. Within a relatively short time they’ll be filling, clogging and destroying your pipes if planted too close to your septic system.
Weeping willows are easily propagated from stem cuttings. Cuttings are at least two feet long, cut at the base and taken from mature weeping willows when trees are dormant, after leaves fall in autumn and temperatures are consistently below 32 degrees Fahrenheit at night.
These estimates for how long Weeping Willow takes to sprout, grow and harvest are from real observations from real gardeners, right around the world.
