The corkscrew willow is a distinctive ornamental tree renowned for its contorted and twisted branches which add a unique architectural element to landscapes. Propagation is predominantly achieved through cuttings to maintain the unusual form of this cultivar. For successful propagation, select healthy, semi-hardwood sections from the current or previous year's growth. Cuttings should be about 6-12 inches long, ensuring several nodes are present. Strip the lower leaves, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and insert into a moist, well-draining potting mix. Adequate humidity and warmth are vital for encouraging root development.
