WILLOWS? Posted by Monte Morgan on November 6, 2023, 10:31 am Does anyone have any definitive knowledge if there are willow trees in this area? I have seen some "willow-looking" trees but not sure if they are actually willows of the SALIX family.

Re: WILLOWS? Posted by LisaFern on November 6, 2023, 12:28 pm, in reply to "WILLOWS?" Yes, there are. I'm planning on planting some. One can also make some cool outdoor, living structures with willow. I have made a few. I also have a book on it if you are interested in looking at it

Re: WILLOWS? Posted by monte morgan on November 6, 2023, 12:44 pm, in reply to "Re: WILLOWS?" Thanks so much, Lisa. I want to get actual Salix to extract the Gibberellic acid to use in my pleaching experiments. There used to be some Willow-looking trees near the prepa in Melaque but that location was bulldozed for a development. Do you have any ideas where to get some willow?

Re: WILLOWS? Posted by LisaFern on November 6, 2023, 2:20 pm, in reply to "Re: WILLOWS?" I would look in places near water. If you don't find any, I will try to remember to cut you some. Rooting hormone right? I haven't experimented with that, but I hear willow water helps. Buena suerte!

Re: WILLOWS? Posted by Monte Morgan on November 7, 2023, 8:57 am, in reply to "Re: WILLOWS?" Yes, willow water has growth and rooting hormones. Dan Patman correctly informed that the Spanish word salix or willow is sauces.
