New Willows Planted

Sun, 02/01/2004 - 05:00 — chris

We could see that we had not got enough Basketry Willow. We had a lot of big stuff over 2.3metres but not very much fine willow. I went back to West Wales Willows web site and chose what I hoped would be some good colours and more appropriate sizes. The final list was:

Salix Alba x Fragilis Flanders Red

Salix nigricans

Salix alba x fragilis Golden Willow

Salix nigricans Faucille

Salix alba vitellina

Salix Purpurea Jagiellonka

Salix Purpurea Norbury

Salix Salix alba 81003

Salix Triandra Noire de Challons

Salix triandra Longbud

Salix viminalis x purpurea Ulbrichweide

Salix Faux Plante de Touraine

 

With luck this lot would provide us with some good weaving!

 

We had 10 of each, not too many should my choice prove the wrong one!
