NB It is important to choose a suitable site for your living willow garden structure or sculpture,
Once you have chosen your site, it is essential to prepare the ground to give the willow a good growing enviroment, please see Preparing the chosen site.
For further information on cultivation and maintenance of living willow
garden structures and sculptures please see
The willow species used for large structures is fast growing, vigorous green bark Salix Viminalis and a similarly vigorous yellow bark species. Once established on a suitable site with good growing conditions, Salix Viminalis may produce rods of 3m length per annum and more after a few years.
NB If left without prudent and regular maintenance by pruning and weaving growth back into the framework, the vigorous willow could get out of hand and become a large tree within a couple of years.
For some smaller structures and sculptures a less vigorous, slower growing branching species of willow is used, perhaps with a coloured bark for added interest particularly in winter.
