Curly Willow tree

I had gotten this bouquet of flowers last year from my kids for Mother's day. This was from Martha Stewart's collection. See the wooden branch that came in the vase? That is a Curly Willow branch. After a week in water, I noticed it was growing roots!
I took that branch and planted it outside in my yard. The photo below shows what the branch became after only one year!

Curly Willow, Willow bushes, Oak Willows and Willow trees all have growth hormones in them, so they self root. You can also take a small piece of the branch and add it to your water to root other plants that propagate this way. We have sold the house where this is planted, and I can see over the fence that this tree is now about 8' tall! And all from one little branch in a bouquet of flowers!
