Hi guysimage. I've just complied a weeping willow and are wondering if the water from soaked stems can be used for more than rooting cuttings

    I suspect soaking chopped up stems would make a good solution for encouraging other stems to root if taking cuttings of shrubs.  

    You do realise that coppicing a willow just makes it grow with increased vigour and any stems you leave lying on the ground will root and grow?  It's usually done to the shrubby varieties to encourage decorative colourful stems for a winter garden or to provide material for basket and willow weavers.
