- The first of three sons of a dairy farmer and the only one who didn't go into the family business. I founded Nettleton Hollow in 2004, and launched the site in March 2005. Nettleton Hollow is named after a road on which I spent many summers as a kid herding cows.

After reading this, I was just wondering how long I can store the dried curly willow. Can I buy it now and save it until June to use for centerpeices?
The Dried Curly Willow will last indefinitely, so it certainly is safe to order it now - you'll just need to store it in a dry place.
We had an arrangement from my Fathe-in -law's funeral. When evrything died I was taking it apart to dispose of it. The branches have rooted in just water, and I now have leaves. Can this be planted outside? If yes, are there any special instructions.

Fresh willows love to root when you place them in water, or if you insert them into moist soil (that's why it's important to put them in a dry vase if you want them to last). My understanding is that the roots that are formed in water won't survive in soil, so it is probably best to just discard the branches.
