"Commercial rooting preparations contain a synthetic form of indolebutyric acid (IBA) and growing tips of willows contain high concentrations of IBA, depending on the quantity used and length of time you soak them. Any willow (Salix) tree or shrub species will work.
Willow water:
Steep twigs in a half-gallon of boiling water overnight. Refrigerated liquid kept in a jar with a tight-fitting lid will remain effective up to two months."

Great video Kristen! You are fun and if we lived near each other we'd be quite the team. Thank you, I was a bit stuck without my propagation books and this was a big help. I think I'll go grow some figs.

@2007liza i vactaion in portugal every year. I love the fig trees there i live in the u.s. How would you ship me a fig tree? Or could you?

Very cool

i have always thought that willows never grew anything underneath them- so using willow water would decrease liklihood of hormonal root boost... (and other cuttings not doing well) I guess it is spring by the lambs-

Good lands of red color, water and the vegetation also working with effort and intelligence

Awesome show, Wombats, sheep...and then the Figs...or more appropriately the FORBIDDEN FIGS, much tastier.
favorite quote "all you need is a back lane, or a friends house, or an enemy's house" Hilarious

@professorLing hi there, yep we're australian,and you could use any propagation dip, but something natural (like willow water) avoids synthetic hormones so that's what we use.
