Interesting fact: Weeping Willow Trees contain a plant hormone that promotes rooting so they are easy to propagate. This natural rooting hormone is what causes the suckers to sprout so well, yet if not properly propagated and cared for they run the risk of dying due to climate, rotting, and other environmental factors.

You are welcome. Plants and nature can be very diverse. Here in Argentina there are many 'parasitic' plants that grow everywhere without rooting - on other trees, on power lines, on walls and electrical poles.... It's amazing!
