Outdoor planting #CorkscrewWillow.. We've had this bad boy outside for as long as I can remeber. He's about 5 years old. He's been on the brink of death more times than I can count, but always comes back (he gets realllllyyyyyy mad if he isn't watered on super hot days, and we've gone camping a few times and not had "plant care") When is a good time to just plant him in the ground? He will be in the yard, right behind the picture.
