Living willow structures.
Making arches and gazebos etc., by simply poking a large long cutting into the ground. I would like to try this having seen some examples recently. I would appreciate some basic pointers if anyone has experience of this, time of year, does it work with any willow etc? Thanks Mark |

In dry conditions a willow can (or so I'm told) send roots a quarter of a mile or so until they find water. Then, usually, they break into a drain and block it up. So, be careful. -- Rusty |
