[willow shoots]
Note that willows root from cuttings readily. (I have one in the
yard that I have to prune every fall or spring to keep it from
taking over its area, so I tend to have willow shoots for this
most of the year.)

I was shredding some pruned willow branches and other stuff
for mulch one spring, and I cut off a 2-3' piece of a green willow
branch for a temporary stake for some recently transplanted
perennial. I had to pull it when the stake started growing leaves.
