CLOSED: Corkscrew Willow starts

I will be trimming my corkscrew willow soon and will be glad to send some for trades or postage. They are excellent for willow water. Even better than Weeping Willows because they are higher in the hormones. They are fast growing trees but you can cut them with rose pruners and keep them at hedge height. You can also twist the young limbs into all sorts of shapes.

Easy to root by sticking them in water and in less than 2 weeks you have a huge root system. I will cut them soon and will ship without roots but guarentee they will root easily.

I would like, when temps warm:
dahlia tubers, sedums, or open to suggestions. Will do postage as well.

Kathy

Ooo me please :) What would you want in trade? Or I would gladly send you postage. LMK

Would there be a chance of receiving some cuttings for postage, I would be very interested. Thanks

Dmailing you.

I would like some too, I will see what I have. Thanks

Sorry for the delay in replies. We're redoing a bath and I've spent little computer time.

I have replied to some of you.

I'm looking for dahlia tubers, tall sedums, or open to suggestions. House plant cactus would be good too. I want to put some in a window and would love tall cactus.

Blueskyfy I will send you some for postage. Wait until you get them and you can mail me the posted. It's going to rain for the next 4 days so I'll send them out

GAgirl1066, let me know what you have for trade.


Kathy

Kathy,

I'd be interested in these. I don't know what I have to trade or will have to trade. I sold most everything a few months ago. The greenhouse is going back up as soon as the weather allows and I'll have tons of new stuff. I can send postage if you'd like or can wait to see if you are interested in anything I'm growing.

Michele

Michele -
I'll send you willows now. I'll wait for a surprise trade later.

I won't send these out to anyone until Monday or Tuesday.
Kathy

Thanks a bunch Kathy! I should be able to tell you what I'll have, in the next 2-3 weeks. If you don't want anything, I'll reimburse you. :)

Thank you, Kathy! ^_^

I would love to trade for the corckscrew willow cuttings. Are you interested in ri rac cactus , or night blooming cereus to trade? Lou

Hi,
I would love to have a bunch of the corkscrew willow cuttings. I do not have anything to trade but will pay postage. Please contact me.
THANKS!!!

Dispatcher1 and Blue_barn,
I will do cuttings for shipping. Keep in mind they are not rooted. Just put them in water and they will sprout quickly.

I will send these out this week, hopefully, and you can pay postage when they arrive. How's that?

Kathy

Kathy,
Have you sent the ones to me yet? If not, that's ok because I found some local and took some cuttings. If you have that's fine and I will send postage. Thanks

I would love some for postage or trade what would you like to trade?

I will send the postage as soon as they arrrive. Thanks so very much! Lou

GAGirl - no, I haven't cut them yet so I'll remove you from my list. Thanks for letting me know you found some.

pensacola - let me ck out your trade list and hope I find something for my zone.....be back to you on this one.

Lou, Good deal - hope to cut them this week, if not today.

I will send the postage as soon as you tell me the amount and provide the address to send it to. Do you need my address to mail the cuttings?
THANKS!!!
Blue Barn

Thanks so much I have more the what is on my list just to let you know!!

blue_barn,
If you are in the address exchange I can look it up.

Everyone: I will be shipping priority because they will weigh more that 13 ounces unless you want few and tiny cuttings. Which I can do. IF you want only 1st class and small cuttings or just what 13 ounces gets you then please TELL ME ASAP.

Otherwise - all will go Priority and out today I HOPE. Kathy

I only want trades for zone 7 since i'm on the border of 6/7. Depends on what day you ask as to what zone I think I'm in....crazy weather. We had snow on the ground for 2 months but only 5 or 6 inches. Just freezing cold. The past 2 weeks have been in the 50s- high 60s. My grass is so green.

Any trades that you may have would have to fit my zone. No houseplants unless someone has "Crown Of Thorns" or some really cool inside cacti.

Kathy

Kathy,

I'll be happy with as much or as little as you want to send.

Thanks again,
Michele

Would love to have some corkscrew willow, dooling lol, not really. but would tuely love to have some. Have lots of goodies in the garden and seedlings under lights, most won't be ready til May, sorry I'm up north, will get snow as late as early May is avg. Anything in particular other than whats listed, have perenns or seed, don't have a list put up yet, would like to try to get one established, or will pay. thankyou. Kathy.

Kathy, your trade should arrive today in the mail ... at least I hope so. ^_^

Cville - got the box today - all healthy and green.

Everyone - I feel overwhelmed with these darn cuttings! LOL I have bunches cut and trying to find appropriate boxes is a pain in the butt. I have communicated with several on dmail verses on the thread. The cuttings will come without special wrapping such as water pellets or such because these guys will grow on air!! LOL

I have some that fit into boxes that are 6-10 inches long, others will be 12-15 etc and one member wanted the tube box cuttings. With that said, your cuttings will grow like crazy. They may be 10 inches but by the end of summer your TREE will be 2 -3 feet tall. Trust me!

I'm closing the thread until I have more time and not feel stressed to send everyone 3 ft. cuttings. Everyone above this post will get their cuttings for postage and I hope (yet again) to get them out by Monday. I'm packing up some now.

Last year I cut down one of 3 trees in a row. Just grew to much to fast. One log was left in the yard while the rest of the tree was put in the compost pile. 2 months later I found the log and it had long, green stems of new growth when it was touching NOTHING. I'm telling ya, it grows from air! so when your cuttings arrive please know they just need water and they will surprise you in a few weeks.

Kathy -

NO MORE TRADES or SHIPPING OF WILLOWS. Tape and packing is so much hassle when I have so many requests. Thanks and I will get the remaining plants out

Kathy

Thank you for all of your work Kathy. I'm sorry it's a PITA to wrap and ship all these. I promise to send you something nice real soon. I'm already stocking up. :) Greenhouse is just about finished too!

Yes, thanks for your efforts, Kathy. I agree that the mailing part can be a real hassle at times.

Thank you also Kathy! This was nice of you to offer these....PLUS I got to get in on this one!!!! :)

9101150134711622901369 Michele Meyer

Yeah, it's hard to fit these puppies into boxes with all the new growth sprouting out - wait until your boxes arrive. You'll have some green leaf I'm sure.

I never expected to have such a request for them. I have lots of dmails that are not on this thread. I also listed some on ebay and quickly put a halt to that....$7 for 10 cuttings that are 15-18 inches long and I had 4 sales right off with $8.00 shipping.

If your starts don't work for you or you really want more just dmail me but I don't be getting more cut for several weeks. I need to plan for my roses and clematis that are due in a week.

Thanks guys!
kathy

You better close your eyes, not look at that willow and get your buns in gear. LOL

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Michele - you have been a great DG friend from day 1. You helped me get my garden started in 2003 when I joined. You are a DG Treasure to many!
Kathy

Thank you Kathy. That was very nice to see this morning. :)
I feel the same way about you.

Kathy, your box came today and thank you so much! they are the healthiest and more than I imagined! Just had another tree downed out front and it is as bare as can be in the yard and these are going to help alot! Many thanks!
blue
