I am very curious about a thread I just read about cooking down willow branches to extract the natural hormone that helps in root formation for your cloned plants.

Has anyone tried this and can tell of their results? Here in Missouri we have an abundance of willow trees and I am a die hard cheapskate when I know that I can make something for free that sells for a fortune commercially.

My plan is to head to the woods around a lake I know of nearby and grab me some willow branches to put in my crock-pot. One never learns anything new if they don't experiment a bit, right?
