Riparian restoration is important work, often projects rely on dormant Live Stakes (also know as Willow cuttings) to re-establish vegetation, but live staking can have varying degrees of success, and in order to reestablish vigorous vegetation it is beneficial to include rooted plant material as part of well rounded restoration project. We produce rooted stakes in 3.14L Proptek air pruning pots and rooted whips in 250 Millilitre plugs. The inputs for this rooted material comes directly from our Willow mother-beds located at our Strathmore, Alberta Nursery, these beds are home to thousands of locally collected native Willows. Our stock was sourced from the Bow, Red Deer and Oldman River watersheds. Rooted material is available in the following varieties. Sandbar Willow - Salix exigua Bebb's Willow - Salix bebbiana Basket Willow - Salix petiolaris Yellow Willow - Salix lutea Pussy Willow - Salix discolor Balsam Poplar - Populus balsamifera Grayleaf Willow - Salix glauca
Ordering & Procurement
We carry a significant amount of stock in both 3.14L and 250ml formats, for large orders of specific varieties please place orders prior to April 15th, so that dormant cuttings can be taken to facilitate production. We make every effort to reduce our waste during production, when we ship our rooted willows they are removed from the containers and we reuse the containers multiple times.
