Living willow structures or fences start with live cut rods or withies. Once inserted in the ground, they take root. Willow sculpture may use green wood but the rods are not planted, so the sculpture can be preserved if you want.

How To Maintain A Willow Sculpture
Dry willow is biodegradable and within about five years will degrade if left outside exposed to the elements all year round. Placing the sculpture in a dry spot during the wettest months of the year will prolong its life span. Treat new sculptures with a linseed/turpentine mixture or another such safe preservative. Repeat annually. Make sure nearby plants will not be harmed.
柳条是通过修剪“生长”出来的。当树木或灌木被反复砍伐到接近地面的高度,然后从树桩或根上长出新的树木时,就会被称为Coppiced wood。每年,柳条可以长到10英尺,这取决于种类。

Hi
I’m looking for someone to redo our two big Wicker elephants here at Woburn Safari Park
that have now seen better days. Was wondering if you could put me in touch with anyone that would be able to do them.
Many thanks

你好,这是如此同步,我找到你的网站。我最近有一种非常强烈的愿望,想学习如何像我看过的这些美丽的花园艺术作品中那样种植柳树。我想知道你是否碰巧知道一个好的资源,让我这样的人读一些这方面的东西,帮助将帮助我开始——并从经验中学习。谢谢您的宝贵时间。
