Planting Instructions

Seed Preparation

Stratification                  : To improve germination rates, cold stratify the seeds. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks.

Sowing

Timing                           : Sow seeds in early spring after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date.

Containers                    : Use seed trays or small pots with good drainage if starting indoors.

Medium                        : Fill containers with a well-draining seed starting mix or garden soil.

Planting Depth            : Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, ensuring they have good soil contact but are not buried deeply.

Germination

Temperature                : Maintain a soil temperature of 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination.

Moisture                      : Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Light                             : Provide bright, indirect light or place under grow lights for 12-14 hours daily.

Duration                      : Germination typically occurs within 1-2 weeks.

Transplanting

Timing                         : Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 4-6 inches tall and after the last frost.

Spacing                       : Space trees 20-30 feet apart to allow for their mature size.

Site Preparation         : Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Willows prefer areas near water sources like ponds or streams but can tolerate drier conditions once established.

Transplanting Process  : Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the seedling in the hole and backfill with soil, pressing down gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

Care and Maintenance

Watering                     : Water young trees regularly to keep the soil moist, especially during dry periods. Once established, willows are more drought-tolerant but still prefer consistent moisture.

Mulching                    : Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the trees to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Pruning                      : Prune willow trees in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain their shape. Willows can tolerate heavy pruning.

Where flowers bloom, so does hope
