In the autumn, the leaves change color to a deep brown and then fall off. You'll Appreciate the Deep Bark Shades Of Black Willow Stakes As they mature, the bark changes color from a light brownish-orange to a dark brownish-black shade. Some show reddish or coppery tones when they first emerge, right after winter. The bark usually starts out smooth and glossy but often becomes rough and covered with shaggy scales and deep grooves as it ages. During the summer, the bark stays a deep shade of black. Witness Enchanting Reflections in Nearby Water Features With Black Willow Stakes The tall, straight stems give it a slim and delicate appearance. They arch beautifully over bodies of water, creating mesmerizing reflections. Their textured bark, which ranges in color from dark brown to black, stands out against the glistening water, producing reflections with volume and depth. The color-changing foliage adds even more color and vibrancy to the reflections. As they sway gently in the breeze, their bendable stems make patterns and ripples in nearby water features.

Live stakes are a cost-effective solution for propagating woody plants in a short amount of time. Unlike most saplings or yearling trees, live cuttings grow robust, developed root systems in two months or less.

TN Nursery offers a variety of stakes to help you plant in bulk without busting your budget. We've been shipping live tree cuttings for more than 64 years and would be honored to help you find the perfect stakes for your yard.

The Science Of Live Stakes

Stakes simply thrive in their first year of development, especially with a little TLC. But how does a dormant, woody branch turn into a living organism?

It all boils down to science:

The dormant branches of certain woody plants possess an enormous amount of energy (even if they don't yet have leaves). Horticulturists carefully harvest these branches and wrap them in special packaging. When you receive your freshly cut stakings, you must immediately plant them into muddy, nutrient-dense soil. It won't take long for these branches to grow roots and unfurl beautiful foliage for the year ahead.

You can use live cuttings for a variety of purposes, from slowing down erosion to revegetating empty river banks. No matter what you prefer, though, TN Nursery can help. We offer multiple staking varieties to help you propagate in large numbers.
