Salweide multiply by Steckhölzer
The Salweide can be propagated like other pastures by Steckhölzer. These do not always rooted reliably, so you should rather use several Steckhölzer. You usually get female plants. The male Salweiden (Salix caprea mas) are refined.
Early article Salweide - Strong cut immediately after flowering Next article Early flowering of the willow is good for the beesThe Salweide is a hardy, winter hardy wood that grows wild in our latitudes as a large shrub or small tree or is cultivated in parks and large gardens. In spring, the Salweide is the first spring messenger with its unique kitten flowers, which is very popular among bees and humans.
Salix caprea is characterized by strong growth of up to 100 cm per year. However, it is an extremely cut-compatible plant, so that the vigor can be kept by the targeted annual care cut in limits. The cut branches can be used for propagation, for example, to pull new hedge plants.
Pile propagation step by step
In this type of propagation exclusively female plants. The following points are important:
Once the sticks have developed roots, they are put to their final location with earth bales at the end of September or next spring. Depending on the propagation purpose, the cutting can be grown through the parenting section to a small or large willow shrub or tree.
finishing
The commercially available male Salweide varieties (Salix caprea mas) are the grafted plants. In this propagation method brings individual shoots or buds of a species of woodland on the so-called pad of the other wood species. This is done by grafting or grafting and requires a horticultural experience.
Tips
Other Salix species are more easily propagated by cuttings: osier (Salix viminalis), purple willow (Salix purpurea), weeping willow (Salix alba Tristis) or corkscrew willow (Salix matsudana tortuosa).
