I attempted to grow one last year but squirrels got to the seedling, kinda sad. I may try again this year but I don't know.

Yes, we haven't had snow for about a week and the temperatures have been above freezing even at night! I'm enjoying it while it lasts!!! Thanks Candice!!

Willows are interesting trees. They are prone to many diseases, but the strangest thing about them is while the vast majority of trees hate wet feet, for willows you gotta have wet feet and you can never give them enough water.

​​@@Stettafire it makes sense what you observed, the willows naturally grow along the river banks, their roots hold the banks together. They love the wetness and when the rivers overflow in the spring and they get flooded, they can withstand and survive that

@@gaeangardensbyizabela Indeed I travelled to Wales and went to Bodnant Garden. There they have a massive willow tree growing right alongside a man-made lake. They love the water. When I went there I saw the aftermath of storm Arwen. They had a lot of damage down there

I've been wondering the same thing. I've just been leaving a stub by default

I've known many people who do that with good results. I don't seal my cuts as a rule. I'm fairly new to bonsai but I'm an experienced gardener and in many gardening circles sealing cuts is a no-no. But as I've heard very different things from different people I've decided to keep an open mind. I think I'm going to try both. 😁 I'll try sealing cuts on one tree and not sealing on another :) If anyone has any suggestions for info on the pros and cons of sealing cuts Is be immensely greatful, always looking to learn ♥️

Try aluminium tape on a flat cut. ✌️

@@Stettafire i do it mostly on my lemon trees the get sick otherwise, i don't know te name of it in eng tho, but most of my trees are seedling like i have 5 apples trees but the are not even a year old and 2 more that are seediling the are like holly trees leafs but the don't take out the red seed and i have like 12 more inside that the have rooted, wich i am trying to see on his older videos when he starts cuting the seedling and poting them haha. but you do you, ohh and the weather here is not that cold it used to snow every year and have -C but for the last 15 year the were is more meak not a lot off -C and snow this year i haven't seen any.
