Salix Alba Chermesina Cardinalis

 

This willow grows wonderful bright yellow rods darkening to red at the tips. For me, the rods grow too thick for weaving but it would look amazing as a hedge or used in living willow structures. Coppicing annually in winter by cutting all growth back to the original cutting will result in more rods growing the following season.

 

10 x 12" cuttings ready to plant between now and March.

 

How to plant 

Plant 10" into the ground with just 2" of the cutting above soil. Willows do not like competition from weeds and other plants. Plant through a weed suppressing membrane to give your cuttings the best chance of rooting and thriving. If you're planning on using your willow for weaving, space your cuttings at approx 12" apart.
