How willows are sown
Willow is a common tree species whose sowing method differs from other tree species. Below we will detail the sowing method of willow trees.
The willow tree is a deciduous tree that grows quickly and is adaptable, and is widely used in fields such as landscaping, soil and water conservation, and timber production. The sowing of willow trees is usually carried out in two ways: propagation by cuttings or propagation by seeds.
Propagation by cuttings is one of the most commonly used propagation methods for willows. In spring or autumn, choose healthy willow branches, cut them into 10-15 cm cuttings, remove the underlying leaves, and insert them into the soil. When cuttings, pay attention to keep the soil moist and avoid direct sunlight. In the right environment, the cuttings will quickly take root and sprout.
Seed propagation is carried out by collecting seeds from willow trees. In the fall, when the seeds of the willow tree are ripe, they can be picked, dried and stored. The following spring, willow seeds are sown into the soil, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then watered. The seeds germinate and grow at the right temperature and humidity, and after a period of growth, they can grow into new willows.
In addition to propagation by cuttings and seeds, willow trees can also be propagated by methods such as dividing plants, striping, etc. However, these methods are relatively complex to operate and are not as simple as cuttings and seed propagation.
In short, there are two main methods of sowing willow trees: cuttings propagation and seed propagation. In practice, the appropriate propagation method can be selected according to the specific situation to meet the needs of production and greening.
