Re: Corkscrew Willow

Kemberly -- I also have a 5' corckscrew willow in a pot that I plan to keep
in the pot for the reasons you husband cited.  I've been very successful
using it for rooting cuttings.  I look forward to hearing how it will do in
a pot.

P.S.

A local resturaraunt has a row or 4 or 5 of these willows planted in a 2'
wide planting bed right up next to the building.  I've been tempted to ask
who the numbskull was that recommended putting those trees in that
location, but I think I'll wait and just see what they do....  And chuckle
when I drive by.
