END Of THE WILLOW WINTER COLOUR

DSC01172
The season for dormant willow cuttings and rods is over for this year at Lakeshore willows and the last shipments were sent out April 30th.
The beautiful winter colours on the cuttings are slowly fading on the willow that is drying in the barn for basketry.

Soon new colours will be visible in the field as the foliage on the plants start to show.

Is your garden too small for planting willows? It may be; but it is also very likely that it is not – you just need to know how to do it.
For ideas on how to ad year round colour from willows to your small garden I will be writing a couple of posts over the next few weeks.

  1. Look forward to reading the next posts, Lene. I have friends who've grown willow on postage stamp-sized city lots and done very well!
