My Dear Comrades in Capsicum, I have been silently lurking for these many months since I have been working crazy hours. A few weeks ago it was mentioned that willow cuttings root with ease and might help other cuttings root. I can confidently verify that they do root very easily in water. A neighbor of mine has offered me some willow cuttings and it is my intention to mix willow cuttings with pepper cuttings in some water and see what happens. I hope to keep you posted.
