CURLY WILLOW TREE

SO I FOUND OUT SOME THINGS ABOUT THIS TREE. IT DOESNT LIVE LONG (APPR 15 YEARS). IT IS PRONE TO SOME BUGS AND DISEASE ,THE ROOTS GROW SHALLOW AND SEEK WATER SO NO PLANTING NEAR FOUNDATIONS,DRIVEWAYS OR SEWAGE PIPES ETC.
 ON A POSITIVE NOTE THEY GROW FAST, ARE MAGICAL LOOKING ALL YEAR LONG AND THEY ROOT SOOOO FAST IN WATER!! THEY HAVE SOMETHING IN THEM LIKE A NATURAL ROOTING SOLUTION AND THEY(READ THIS PART ANNE) SAY IF YOU ROOT SOME IN WATER AND USE THAT WATER TO START YOUR SEEDLINGS OF OTHER PLANTS IT REALLY GIVES YOUR BABY SEEDS A GOOD RUNNING START!
I THINK I WILL TRY PLANTING ONE WAY IN MY BACK YARD AND I AM ALSO GOING TO TRY A COUPLE IN BIG POTS!
ILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES ;] !
OH, THEY LIKE THEIR WATER, GOOD DRAINAGE (SANDY SOIL MIX) AND NO WEEDS AROUND THEIR ROOTS :} . OH AND THEY GROW TO APPR 20-30 FEET TALL WITH A 15 FOOT SPREAD! ( I FOUND THE GROWTH AND LIFE SPAN OF THESE TREES VARIED FROM SITE TO SITE. SOME SAID THEY LIVED FOR 30 YEARS AND SOME SAY THEY CAN REACH 40 FEET TALL!)

HERE IS A PIC I FOUND OF A YOUNG CURLY WILLOW. LOOK AT ALL THE CARDINALS IN THIS PIC. TO ME ITS A SIGN I SHOULD TRY AND PLANT THEM :} !! BEAUTIFUL!!

 

UHHH, IM NOT GONNA MENTION WHATS GOING ON OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ACCEPT TO SAY THAT IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL (AND A PAIN IN THE ASS ,LOL ;] )

TRYYYYYYY AND HAVE A GOOD DAY EVERYONE!!!!

DONT DRIVE UNLESS YOU REALLYYYYYYY NEED TO!!!!
