5 x poles approximately 30cm long of each variety. Total of 16 poles.

This basket willow bundle includes Green Dicks, Purpurea, and Gigantea. They all produce different lengths, colours and widths of canes.

They make the most beautiful shrub to add diversity for a system or can be managed for a variety of amazing uses. As these are shrub willows they are all manageable sizes and suit hedgerows, food forests or agroforestry systems.

Poles will be sent out in winter. Push into soil up to 20cm and mulch. These willows are quick to establish. If you cannot plant out straight away sit in a shady place in a bucket of water.

We use them for;

• making willow houses.
• early pollen source for bees -if left for second year growth.

• in the establishment of hedgerows.
• making baskets and wreaths.
• kindling.
• a summer chicken yard.
• succession in a hedgerow/riparian planting.
• living fences.
• willow water root hormone.
• ramial woodchips.
• medicinal uses.
• bridge species for mychorrozial fungi.
