24 Hybrid Willow Trees. Austree Grows 12 Foot 1st Season. Create Instant Privacy Fence Hedge

I received them about a month ago. Dipped 2/3 of them in water (used a 1gallon water bottle, just cut off the "neck" part of it so all the sticks fit) and kept them in there for about 3 weeks. Make sure the water level is always at the same height. I was adding about quarter of a cup once in every couple of days. I thought the spring was here so I planted them in ground about a week ago and it went below freezing for 3 days straight since then. Plants are still doing great and growing!! I sprinkled a little bit of Milorganite around them, which I believe is helping out a lot! I placed a water bottle next to it so you can compare the size of it. I hope this helps! Good luck to yall!Month 2 edit 4/5:23 out of 24 still doing great. I purchased some 1/2 an inch pvc pipe and made my own drip irrigation and connected it to a timer so now the plants are getting 1 minute of very low pressure water in every 6 hours. It is just enough to keep the soil moist at all times, not enough to create a puddle. My estimate is about 2 gallons per cycle so about 8 gallons a day, 240 gallons a month. I pay 35 cents per 100 gallons so it is going to be about a dollar per month for stress free watering. Pretty sweet.Plants are about 3 feet tall already. It is kind of difficult to see it in the picture so I will circle it out. See ya next month!Month 4.5: about half of them are still alive, 2 out if those are about 6 feet tall! they arent full of branches but more like a 6 feet tall stick. I am expecting them to grow out some branches in the fall. it is around 80 at night and 100 in day time at the moment so I am amazed about the fact that about half of them are still alive!

These trees are growing great. They sprouted right away in water. I transferred them to pots when they got fairly big. Be careful not to put pots in full sun outside. Put them in a mostly shady place outside at first if you started them in the house. Also, it takes them several days for them to adjust to being transferred from water to soil. Shifting them to full sun when they are not used to it, can overwhelm them too. Of course it was over 90F every day after I set them outside. I watered them twice daily after transferring them to pots. First, they had wilted after transferring to pots and then they perked up and are growing great. We are having a drought right now. I may try to winter them in pots and then, plant in spring. They will be needing lots of water to continue grow well outside. If the drought continues, I think it will be too dry to plant them outside in the soil. There's 24 plants. I would be watering my yard for hours.I am very happy with these trees. Just be careful when you handle them when they first sprout. Their roots and leaves are very fine at first. If you bump them or water them them under a high pressure faucet, you can knock the tiny roots and leaves off. Once they get bigger, they get stronger.I would say if people had problems with the cuttings, maybe the people are not familiar with caring for cuttings. I found the tree cuttings did need much more care than like houseplant cuttings like spider plants. The willow cuttings needed a lot of love and gentle care and much watering to grow well. Also, be careful if you have a lot of pests outside. Insects loved the water I was spraying to water my trees and decided to start eating their leaves. You may need some sort of gentle insecticide. I also worry about deer and rabbits.Once this drought is over, I have a nice patch of land at the rear of my property to plant them that is normally moist. I am looking forward to watching them grow in my yard.

The ad showed many roots, long and growing and many leaves. I got sticks. Almost couldn't distinguish which side as up. No leaves of any kind. Some sticks had very minuscule roots but mostly just sticks. We'll see. If they grow, I update this rating but it will still not be much better. I expect if their honest, they'll replace these sticks with viable plants as advertised. I have them soaking in plastic cups of water in my garage for now until they seem to be acclimated to southern Nevada weather. We'll see. I'll sure let you know.Getting worse every day. I just had a bad batch like 75% of others. The owner wrote spectacular review for their progress but they may have been delusional. After 2 weeks I gave up with 100% failure rate. After 3 weeks last picture I took had no sign of roots or leaves. Seller said they would not pay for return. They paid.

I never write reviews, however I was super skeptical about ordering 50 stems (plants) off amazon. Rated 4 stars because we had shipping issues, however they kept in contact and we received our plants. So I have a black thumb, I actually put the stems in random cup of water for a week in the kitchen with no lights (broke my foot so I couldn’t plant right away) I figured they would die. Came back in town they had roots and sprouts growing!! Yes in a cup of water with literally no sun light what so ever. We planted them in 1 gallon pots with top soil. We watered randomly once every few days. It’s been about a week and a half almost all are growing ! And has many sprouts. We plan to plant them on our property this weekend . We had about 580 ft of privacy fencing so decided to try these out. I will post photos this weekend. We have had these plants now for about 2- almost 3 weeks . They have only been planted in pots for about a week/ week in a half. Photo above is what it looked like after sitting in the dark in water for a week.

I’ve had these a few weeks and started most in water to start them. Some of them I put straight into the ground. Those are I put in water sprouted roots quickly and then I transferred them into individual pots and they are budding nicely. Some of those I put into the ground rather than put in the pots, none of them not put in the pots but straight to dirt did well and I’ve tried putting them back in the water grow the roots. Everyone I put him to a pot is thriving quite nicely and I put them in the ground soon so far I am very happy with the rapid growth. It’s still late winter but we have had nice weather, in the spring I will order some more and try them straight in the ground again but overall I am very pleased.
