But the best recipe(takings) of manufacturing consists in plunging some big cuttings of willow (it doesn't much matter the sort(species)) into a basin of hanging water 4 in 5 weeks.
We so obtain two very interesting things:
Full of cuttings of willow ready of being transplanted.
The liquid staying in the basin looks like in a kind of frost(gel) leaving slippery residues on fingers. The parts(parties) of the willow which were under the water seem to be also coated with a transparent frost(gel); in particular around the surface of the cup(cutting) on the base. This liquid allows to facilitate the taking of cuttings or the layering of whatever plant and to strengthen weakened trees (by a repotting for example).

You make also the with meadowsweet.

It's very good with the grafting
