Living Willow

  Only the freshest cut, disease resistant and viable willow is supplied for planting. Willow for living willow structures, for landscaping and to stop soil erosion can all be supplied. DIY living willow kits also stocked.

 Planting living willow

 The best time for planting is December through to early April. Ensure that the soil is well prepared to provide a good structure for the new willow to become established. For more useful tips, read our blog on planting willow cuttings.

 A comprehensive array of specialist tools and other useful items also available.

Green (Fresh Cut) Willow

 Green in a willow grower’s term means fresh / newly cut willow that is extremely flexible, so there is no need to soak in water. Please be aware that the rods will shrink as they dry out.

Green willow can stay flexible for up to 6 weeks.

 Suitable for plant climbers, hurdle making, outdoor sculpture projects and as non living weavers in live projects. Not suitable for Living Willow projects.

Brown (Dry) Willow for Basketry & Sculpture

 Brown (or dried) willow is natural willow that has been dried with its bark on. It is most suited to outdoor sculpture work, basketry and hurdles as it still has its outer skin for protection.

 As a rule of thumb, soak brown willow in cold water for one day per foot in length to make it pliable enough to weave with, e.g. a 3ft bundle will need 3 days soaking time, a 6ft bundle will need 6 days soaking tim
