Pussy willows (salix discolor) are extremely easy to multiply. 

The Best way to root them is to just put the dry sticks in water for 2 weeks up to 8 months.. The longer you leave them in water the better the root system .

They root so easily that stems of almost any size can simply be stuck into a vase of water where they will form roots in just a few weeks.

They can then be potted into liner pots with moist soil for a few more weeks while their roots develop, or they can be planted directly into the ground in spring. The cutting must be set the right end up, as it originally grew.

Cuttings should be from new growth. 6 inches or more in length .
