Willow Tree

Simple Guide for Planting Live Stakes & Trees

The Willow Live Stakes are excellent for landscaping around ponds, lakes, or rivers.

The weeping willow grows excellent when planted on the edge of riverbanks and ponds.

Black Willow, known as the Salix Nigra, is an excellent native tree, and many of its limbs are harvested and used for live stake plantings.

Live stakes are exciting. You cut the branches 2-4 feet from the tip, dig an auger hole, and plant the ends of the branches in the muddy wet soil. Within 4-6 weeks, it will grow roots.

Live stakes are a big selling business too. Many wetland mitigation plant projects require mass plantings of the willow species for live stake areas.

Live stakes can also be derived from river birch, red maple, black willow, silky willow, weeping Babylonia, swamp, and hybrid poplar trees. Any tree with a native habitat for growing in wetland spots is the tree of choice to harvest live stakes.
