Can I ask what area you’re located in? And are basket willows native to your area? I’m from southern Ontario
@WillowsGreenPermaculture 6 сағат бұрын
Basket Willows are native to, among other areas, the Carolinian zone, of which all of Southern Ontario is part. I’m north of Belleville.

@ amazing! In my area, our riparian zones are entirely dominated by black locust stands. I wonder if planting native willows would do anything to compete and re-establish.
@WillowsGreenPermaculture Сағат бұрын
Likely. And if you’re culling the black locust, the wood is very good. One of the hardest. A black locust log, a builder of natural school playgrounds once told me, can last decades. However, on the other hand, black locust is native to the Carolinian zone, maybe not to the Ontario portion of it, but the zones are moving. It likely supports native wildlife here in Ontario as well.
@IMbirdieful Сағат бұрын
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture very interesting! I know that there is a lot of concern for how aggressively black locust dominates ecosystems and modifies the soil chemistry to favour monocultures of black locust. Which can result in the loss of oak savannahs. I’ve also seen roadsides, parks, and as I mentioned, riparian zones all dominated by the tree. While I could understand some ecological value for wildlife, I’m weary of how much habitat is lost by other food webs when black locusts move in.

Willows are super easy to propagate by simply shoving cuttings into the ground as you show. What would be VERY helpful is if you can find a method to root hardwood cuttings of apple, plum, and pears. I have tried literally a few hundred times over the years with different rooting hormones, different substrates (from sand to cococoir to vermiculite/perlite, etc) and with bottom heat. Zero success. If you can do this please share how.

Thank you for your question Veritas! As mentioned in the video, I have done a few hardwoods, for instance, Sycamore, Chokecherry, and Manitoba Maple. I have been waiting for my plums, apples, pears, quince, hazelnuts and pawpaws to get established before experimenting with them. This winter, I will be pruning many of them, and I will start the experiment. Likely in February. So stay tuned! 😊
@Veritas-dn6ss 8 сағат бұрын
@@WillowsGreenPermaculture As a tip, apples, plums and pears only root from callous. If we simply shove a cutting into the ground before there is any callous, the part in the ground simply rots. So first we need to have the cuttings develop a callous over the bottom to have any chance. Good luck and please report any successes!

Traditional Basketmakers in Britain, they cut their cuttings they select for using to make baskets, then plant them densely in water meadows, just cutting them when they want the canes to make the baskets. That way they use green cuttings to make the basket, much easier basket making with green cuttings as compared to dead dry cuttings which have to be soaked thoroughly to use.

Love how easy this is. I do have a question. Moved to a 2.10 acre area. We have 1 peach tree that thrived last summer and produced tons of peaches. However I noticed some of the bark from the ground up to around my knee has lost bark on one side of the tree. I don't know if I can save it nor know how. Also I wonder if I can do this with my peach tree with cuttings? I tried multiple ways trying with the pit to grow peach trees, but none has taken. We also have walnut trees n wonder if I can do this with cuttings too? PS. Going to plant pear, apple, cherry trees this coming year. Some for my family n friends, the rest for the deer when fruiting arrives. Thank You for providing KZbin generations the skill and knowledgeable know how's sir. It's most worthy and rewarding to know that many more trees will be provided abundantly and for free. God bless and Merry CHRISTmas
@WillowsGreenPermaculture Күн бұрын
Your peach tree bark was probably nibbled on by animals, try to get a small spiral tree guard for it. I’ve never tried stem cuttings with peach trees because I’ve never planted them, but I hope to plant some next year. For walnuts, you could always give it a try. The great thing about this method is if you’ve got trees with branches, it costs you nothing either in time or money to give it a try - also with walnuts, if you have other walnuts growing in your area, you can allow vegetation to grow freely in some areas and you’ll likely have squirrels. That’ll plant walnuts for you. You just have to keep an eye out for the saplings.
