heyYou dont. It is a popular myth to soak willow branches in water and use that to root cuttings since willows are so easy and vigorous to root themselves. They contain an abundance of the popular rooting hormone (IBA?) and also salacitic acid (aspirin).
However neither of these substances are water soluble hence the myth.
I read an alcohol extraction could work but no studies are showing any effacy with willow branches.
I have giant swamp willows around my house. I thought and read about this a lot at one point.
