Can someone remind me, is it Willow or Hazel that take root and grow if
you plant a stick in the ground? Or both, or neither?

Willow.

Hazel is reputedly hard to grow from cuttings. That said, a hazel stick
I pushed into a fence has some remarkably green looking leaves at the
top ..

Willow.

And Tamarisk, as I found out a couple of years ago when setting up a cat
scratching post.

That's interesting, I would like to move a Hazel I planted a long time
ago in the wrong place!

I'll have to try planting a stick and see what happens, is there a
particular time of year to do that?

I've got a filbert (corylus maxima) which I think is much the same as a
hazel (corylus avelana) . It sends up dozens of shoots every year and they
*always* grow on successfully if you cut them off with a bit of root
attached. I've never managed to get a normal cutting to root though.
