Hybrid Willow Cuttings
Fast-Growing • Easy to Root • Perfect for Silvopasture & Windbreaks
Hybrid Willows are one of the fastest-growing and most versatile trees you can plant on a working farm. These cuttings take off quickly — often putting on 8–12 feet of growth in the first year once established — making them the ideal choice for creating shade, shelter, and living fence lines in a hurry.
Cuttings root easily when planted directly into moist soil — no rooting hormone required.
