Preservation of dried willow structures.
Willow is biodegradable within a few years if left outside exposed to the elements all year round.
The life span of a dried willow structure can be increased by an annual application of wood preservative, of a type suitable for close contact with plants. Please read and follow the safety precautions and the application instructions on the container carefully.
Placing the structure under cover in dry, airy surroundings during the wettest months of the year (if not in use or required for display) will prolong its life span.
Alternatively the basic shape of the structure can be preserved by allowing a slow growing willow species, branching shrub or climbing plant (preferably nothing too vigorous so as not to swamp the framework) to scramble through and over it. This will require maintenance by regular clipping and pruning of the growth back to the structure framework.
The outline of the structure will be preserved by the growing plant after the original willow has partially succumbed to nature and the elements.
