Living Willow Structures
Willows are unique in that they will root no matter the length of the cutting is used.
Michael has grown willows from 19ft rods!
A long cutting is a rod and they can be used to make living structures. Just stick them in the ground in a preset pattern, then tie them together to form the structure.
The fresher/greener the rod, the better chance for survival.
This Harlequin Fedge was created in late winter 2012. It is 5ft high and 20ft long.
We used S. myrsinifolia 'Blackskin' for its showy winter stems and shiny dark green foliage.
This tunnel/arch was built in June 2013 from 14ft rods using
Salix daphnoides 'Ovaro Udine', a very upright growing selection.
Harlequin Tree
This simple dome was built in May 2013. At right: the same dome in early October. Our autumns are always this beautiful! Lucky us!

A simple arch in the UK
This willow structure was created by Woodside Services in Gloucestershire UK and is similar to what you can expect from our Willow TeePee Kit.
Created by Steve Fuller in the UK, this living willow structure
is a hybrid between a dome and a teepee. Steve used longer rods than we can ship!

Chicken Shelter
Chicken Shelters in the garden of friend and customer Don Statham in New York State.
As you can see the chickens eat the willows on the sides, but the roofs are intact to hide these lovely ladies from hungry hawks!
Creative Use of Willows for the Comer Playground beside the Chicago Children's Hospital.
Tunnels and an open-faced Dome created by Clauss Brothers with our Salix miyabeana for a wonderful new playground for hospitalized Kids.
These photos were taken a few weeks after planting and all the rods are producing new leaves. Hopefully we will get more photos as these structures mature.
