Do you think they'll survive?

[spandit]

Had an excess of willow (salix viminalis) cuttings from last year's growth so stuck a few into the banks of my pond, which was quite low at the time. Since then, the pond has filled up and the willows are now under water. Do you think they'll survive? Not terribly fussed if they don't, as we have plenty (as you can see I've planted a fedge on the island) but they have come into bud (this photo was taken today, March 1st 2019). Can't see it in that picture but just along from there is a huge mass of frogspawn, which is good news.

If they don't, then they have failed as willows. Other willows will mock their inability to cope with the wet conditions that willows are famed for liking, then disown them and say good riddance.

 

So yes, I think they should be okay.

Couldn’t be in a better place

Don't want my trees bullying each other. I though too much water would be detrimental but glad to be wrong. Should have planted more!

Being told I'm wrong is the only interaction I get
