Had very good experience taking branches and putting them in just water and fast draining sand. I could not believe how quickly they rooted! Durban - South Africa

the weeping willow is a very nice type of tree and can be used in many grafts such as weeping cherry, birch, hemlock, etc. You should be very careful where you plant it though because the roots will seek out water. if you have a septic tank or well near a weeping willow they can cause extensive damage to them or even destroy them.

Quite nice as a specimen tree. Weeping Willows look so nice in a garden setting.
They are easy to propagate, just stick a branch in damp soil and most likely it will root.
One drawback is the fall cleanup of all of the willow 'whips' that fall to the ground after frost.
My Grandmother had a giant one in her yard, and I have nice memories of playing in the 'room' that the drooping branches made as they circled the trunk. I always think of my Grandmother when I see one.
