Proper propagation
First, cut down your middle aged willow tree.
Second, while still fresh, cut the primary trunk into 1.5 metre sections. For the best results the trunk should have a diameter of between 0.4 and 0.6 metres.
Third, lay a good looking section on a damp bit of ground in the shade.
Fourth, water regularly and wait for shoots to appear.
Fifth, watch while the shoots grow into a fine new tree. This being the stage we are at with the section illustrated.
