Default willow & cherry blossom


HI Sue your willow cuttings are capable of growing into large trees. Give
them a sunny spot in the garden with a good deal of space. Don't cut them
back either.

I've got a 6 branches/stems of willow sitting in water indoors & they've
taken root.

Q1. Can i now plant these in the garden? Where should i plant them,

against
a wall in a sunny spot or against a wall in a partially shaded area? (i've
only got a small garden)

Q2. Do i need to cut them back after i plant it so that it grows from just
above ground, how much should i cut off?

I've seen some Chinese shops selling what i think are Chinese or Japanese
blossoms, similar to the willow i have but shorter & with pink flowers,

can
i do the same with these ie. let them sit in water until they take root &
grow them in the garden?

thanks.

Sue.
