Live Stakes

Live Stakes

As long as people have been using plants, they have been using a method to reproduce called cuttings. Whether it is sharing a piece of a plant with a beloved friend, or creating a new plant to fill a home, cuttings are a cost effective way to produce a great deal of plants for a small cost.

A cutting is different from seed because it gives the gardener some control over the end product. When using seeds the end results can be anyone’s guess. Because cuttings are taken from what is considered to be a mother plant, it will be identical to the plant it was taken from, because inside they are genetically the same. Cuttings can be used on virtually any kind of plant from vegetation to a houseplant. The benefits of using a cutting are vast. The cutting will have the same physical characteristics of the mother plant, because they have been asexually reproduced.

If a person has a begonia that has amazing color and does well, it is not uncommon for a cutting to be taken and shared. This piece of the plant is placed in water and over a period of time, roots will form. Once the roots have formed, it can be replanted for a whole new plant can be grown. Essentially, a person can make identical plants by simply taking a snip of the original one.


While manipulating plants for various uses has always been a popular thing, one cannot rule out the use of live stakes. Live stakes are trees that are planted to keep hills and areas to keep from eroding away. Riverbanks are a great location to find live stakes as they help from the erosion and damage that can occur here. The root mats that these trees create are important for the area they are placed in. These stakes are dormant but still yet still very much alive.

There are many benefits to the use of the Black Willow Live Stakes. These stakes can completely improve the aesthetics of the area. They also will provide a great habitat for any wildlife that may be in the area. It is important to install these stakes while they are in their dormant season. It is also of critical importance not to let these stakes dry out. Those who have areas that are prone to erosion should consider the use of these stakes to help improve the integrity of the area.

Another commonly used manipulated product is tree poles. Virtually everyone has some type of tree pole on or near their property. The poles are made of incredibly durable materials and they can withstand the harsh winds and rains. These tree poles have been tested to ensure their ability to withstand the elements, including the wind tests.

These poles can provide a great balance and allow a person to use the natural environment they want. Often called replica trees, these poles can be made from cypress, mono-elms or mono-pines. While there are many benefits to using plants and vegetation for their intended use, there are also other ways that these gardener’s delights can be used to help our environment.


 

 

Live Stakes are cutting harvested from the trees with no roots. Live stakes are cut on a blunt end
and tapped in the ground usually at waters edge or in any wetland area. They are clippings known
as cuttings and do extremely well when planted when harvested fresh. All live stakes from our Tree
& Plant Nursery are freshly harvest, cut and pretreated ready to plant on the jobsite.
