Hybrid Willow in a Dry Climate: How Fast Do They Grow??
มุมมอง 1.6K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
When I sell hybrid willow in my nursery, I always get lots of questions about them. In this video, I illustrate how the growth rate of hybrid willow is intimately tied to the amount of water they receive. I also show just how little growth you get if you don't water that much. I also illustrate that the amount of growth you get also depends on watering the entire root zone.

$75 DIY Mini Greenhouse (Low Tunnel Season Extension)
Could you please tell me what you use for feed? I have countless squirrels and I’m hardly getting any. I think when I’m using for bait isn’t working.
Hi there, I use chicken feed. It's nothing fancy, any should work fine. If they aren't going into the trap, you might feed them a bit without the trap to get them to like the feed. Then you could put the trap out with feed inside after free feeding them for a few days. I've heard that some species of squirrels are much harder to trap than others.
I layered a 50/50 chicken manure wood chip mix in between layers of 100% wood chips. Its been a couple weeks now and all of the manure layers have mushrooms growing out everywhere. Hoping those will help breakdown some of the surface crust. I'm still on the fence on whether or not to turn
Very interesting topic . I always wonder isn't it awesome if we travel using only solar powered
I agree! It's a real trip to think that this cart just pulls energy "out of thin air".
Yes @@BriansPermacultureProject
Subbed, no question! I love what you're doing and your attitude to make it work with what you have lying around - you clearly have a good understanding of forces at play and where you need to add strength. You'd probably get a kick out of some of my stuff too, but I'm not yet as comfortable talking to the camera as you are. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this very kind message! I'm glad you like the "make it work" approach to projects like this. I know some people like pristine builds (like Mike Festiva), but I think rough and tumble builds like this have their place. If you ever share your projects, let me know, I'd love to check them out!
@BriansPermacultureProject hey man, there's a couple of videos on my channel, but I'm always adding more.
I have bought the seeds and try to grow in North California
Very cool! Update me with how it goes~
What feed u use
I just use chicken feed. It has corn, Milo, millet, sunflower, etc.
Thank you. I harvested a ton of seeds from a beautiful specimen I found in Oceanside,CA I will use this method.
This is great to hear! I hope everything goes well. I hope to hear back with updates.
What bait draws them in?
I use chicken scratch.
I built one of these. Works like a charm. I let the tree squirrels go. They keep the yard free of crickets and other bugs and I like watching them play with the birds. The ground squirrels however, they go back in the ground, just differently than they came out.
We have a ground squirrel infestation, so we will definitely try this trap. We just don’t want our tree squirrels to get caught in it.
This is awesome! I'm not sure what the prices are on these things lately, but making your own is surely very inexpensive!
Wow! I didn’t know it could get that hot. What if several buckets of kitchen scraps were added? Where would you add it and would it change anything?
I would add them right at the beginning of the process. All that extra nitrogen would help keep the heat up during the process.
I should add, I've tried and failed to germinate Green Ash many times. I always let the seeds dry out... However, every nook and cranny in my yard sprouts seedlings sown by wind and water. They transplant easily. :-)
Thanks for sharing this! I'll keep an eye out around the ash trees I know of in our area.
Yes, they are somewhat difficult to germinate. Your technique made it more difficult. Biggest issue, TOO DEEP! The seeds are designed to be scattered with the wind in winter and carried by runoff with melting snow. They are not intended to be buried, just set on damp soil or some damp crevice. The cotyledons are huge and not easily pushed up through soil. To keep seeds from drying during stratification do it indoors in plastic bags. To keep seeds from drying outdoors, mulch with shallow sand, water/mist a few times per day and keep them out of wind and sun. If you just need a few trees, take 1000 seeds and just soak/rinse them a long time in room temperature water. A few percent will germinate. You can also scatter lots of seed on good ground out of sun and wind and keep them moist. A few percent will germinate. See USDA Woody Plant Seed Manual, file F for Fraxinus... www.fs.usda.gov/nsl/nsl_wpsm.html
My fruit trees and vegetables will be safe this year as the Squirrelinator is working well.
Are you sure that the plants that come from these seeds will be elongata or could they be paulownias of another species?
I am ordering from a reputable seed company (not an Etsy or eBay seller), so hopefully they have done their homework.
LOL!
Man Brian you have no idea how happy and sad I am to watch this video. If I just watched this clip 10 years ago. I had so many unlucky attempts to grow sequoia trees. But your let the seeds in the jar method is awesome!!!
This is so nice to hear! Have you found that it works for sequoia trees?
Very interesting. And lovely livestock guardian dog! Is it a Maremma? We had one who passed away recently, she was wonderful.
The peach should have had the outer shell removed
This year June 2024 I've got 50 in 2 weeks
great video, thanks for these infos
Great video 🇳🇿🌱
Thanks so much! Glad it was useful ~
Great update on the progress and time line.
Method
This week put in the garden the last few transplants, i had a little compost leftover and i decided to use it all to then move the compost bin in another area of the garden. I sifted everything and probably had 200+ nighcrawlers hiding in there. I put them back in my garden but since i want to build a worm bin as well i'll just recover them from my compost pile and save money.
Does anyone know if this trap can work on rats as well?
Great to have found you. Good quality professional videos. Applause
GOD Bless you for sharing Brian!!!
Give it another 6 months. Then post it again. That's not finished compost
What I see is a pile that's way to dry.
How about adding a bit of ashes from our fire pit ? Its mostly oak wood ash i think
That'll work for sure
I have two huge piles of woodchips from trees cut down on our property thata been sitting for a couple of years. There is more soil in some of that than in " sOiL MiXeS " i bought from big box stores 😂 .plus is teaming with life so i feel like a "rich man " at least when it comes to mulchint mu garden hahaha
I did some trials with a similar technique. The stuff isn't rly ready for a veggie garden yet. give it another 2-3 years for that, as the mix is still too fungal dominated and bacterial life hasn't been established. I filled a experimental bed with that stuff and grew peas in to fix some more nitrogen and having it covered. Followed up by potatoes, which rly thrive in this fluffy stuff. 14 months in, there are still minimal weeds growing in it, which tells me it's still not ready yet. But yeah, it makes a great Potato Pile 😉
Found your video after purchasing some mulberry seeds, and I am so glad I did. Followed your exact method of three 24 hour soakings, changing the water in between. Now I've got ~20 white mulberry seedlings sprouted in a seed tray. Thank you very much for doing and sharing this research!
How long before the seedlings sprouted?
@@armentashjian 1-2 weeks
thanks i want to try it.
Gotta have the pipe straight up and down, turn your heat up put a water house running at he bottom, works on ground rods
DO you have any Osage Orange seedlings for sale Sir ?? I need a few. Thanks
Any update?
Did they all grow well? Do you think that allowing the seeds to germinate in water increases their chances of survival?
After the 3 day soak, how long did it take for the mulberry seeds to germinate?
the side to side weld is not the best option. Try to cut the hammer bit shorter and weld the cut end to the driver plate in-line. This will allow the energy to be transferred from the jack hammer to the post along a much more efficient path.
It's hard to get enough moisture mixed into wood chips.
Brian... Leucaena is pretty easy to grow and does not need a lot of inputs. Its a 4 month old video but the white lead tree (another name for this plant) grows well to really good height in one season. If you do grow it directly outside perhaps grow it between plants and keep a warm water barrel. next to it. Once it grows a meter then you can leave them alone. They are amazing fodder for goats.
Do they give fruits if you plant them from seed?
Hello, yes, depending on whether they are male or female. We are getting our first big harvest this year, from seeds planted about four years ago. Apparently red mulberries are female at a ratio of 4 to 1, female to male, when grown from seed. I'm not sure about the other varieties.
@@BriansPermacultureProject many thanks brother. You saved me time and energy ⚡
Why do you sow these? They'll become invasive all these trees will sow themselves out. Most Paulownia growers buy plants that don't form seeds for that reason.
Hybrid willow works great.
Tip 2 - do not plant these bags, they do not rapidly biodegrade and whilst some roots will go through them they do so in an uneven manner hampering growth compared to what might had been. At point of planting just tear the bag off so that the roots have an open path to full growth.
Tip for anyone watching this - is really recommended to fully fill the bags so that seedlings don’t get bent or compressed trying to find their way out the top of the bag.
im moving to a semi desert area that has almost no green its in a sand area and it get 15in of rain a year i was wonderin if willow can help me green up and provide a quick carbon source along with shade and help build soil retention. i plan on using water to start them on and then tappering them, off after 5ish years. thank you for the information. it helps more so than you can image
Aspergillus allergies await. Careful man. Wear a good mask around that stuff.
suddenly after working well for a year it is not working anymore? any clues did they learn?
