The Force Is Strong In This One

Willow trees are unkillable. The one Matthew took down last year- after it broke in a storm- is sprouting all round its stump. Give it a year or two and it'll have a new trunk- or- indeed- several. Not only that, but the logs he chopped from it are sprouting too- so that the woodpile is a mass of green leaves.

I've just joined a gardening forum and they were talking about willow water as an aid to getting things to root. Like that rooting hormone that you can buy, but a DIY organic version.
