If this is the same as the Corkscrew Willow branches that many florists
sell, they and in fact most Willows are really easy to root from
cuttings. Check out a shop near you and give it a try for $3.00 or so
you can get a 3-4' piece that will root readily and cost way less than
one from a nursery in a pot. Check if they might have some older ones
that might already have roots started on them, they may be beyond the
point where a florist could sell them but be just perfect for your
purposes. If you need instructions I will be happy to provide them. Next
time you visit your friends that grow varieties you like, take along
your pruning shears.
