Living Willow Structures
We create bespoke living willow structures including domes, tunnels, and arbours using Salix Viminalis rods. These easy-to-assemble kits include detailed instructions, membrane, and fixing materials. Ideal for gardens and educational settings, they provide instant screening and creative play spaces while establishing permanent living features. Structures require annual pruning to maintain shape and density.
Willow Cuttings Supply
We supply 25cm live willow cuttings from 25 varieties including Salix Viminalis and Purpurea. Available in bundles of 10-1000 units, these unrooted cuttings establish readily when planted November-March. Ideal for hedging, biomass production, or basketry, each order includes planting instructions and membrane options for successful growth.
Riverbank Stabilisation
Our willow spiling systems prevent riverbank erosion using fresh living stakes and rods. We provide complete kits with installation guidance or offer on-site construction services. This traditional technique creates living barriers that strengthen over time, combining environmental benefits with structural effectiveness for both private and public sector projects.
School Willow Projects
We support schools with willow structure kits and on-site construction workshops. Our educational packages include design assistance, materials supply, and maintenance contracts. Children participate in building living domes and tunnels, combining practical learning with creative outdoor spaces that develop over time through annual pruning activities.
Biomass Willow Supply
We offer fast-growing hybrid willow varieties optimised for biomass production. Our 25cm cuttings establish dense plantations for woodchip production while 3m rods create single-stem trees yielding firewood in 4-5 years. These high-yield varieties thrive in various soil conditions, providing sustainable fuel sources with minimal maintenance requirements.
