I think it's a bit late this year o post hard wood cuttings, but if you want to try an experiment or we can try next year ae ail me. Next year I'll b selling 10+ types of willow via internet.<br /><br />Have you googled willow biomass cuttings near you or just looked for a local good patch by your home and asked permission for a couple of cuttings!. My hard wood citing are 20cm long, thicker than a pencil, a thumb size is perfect, 3/4 cutting into the ground.....

Not a basket or furniture grade willow, but a purely decorative one: Hakuro Nishiki. My plan is to cut rods from this plant and root them in deep pots then create a decorative hedge in front of the house. If I can't find other willows this spring, at least I can 'play' with this one. BTW - do you sell cuttings on your eBay account?Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17822528453563683772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-6329646454043396412011-04-22T23:27:05.994+01:002011-04-22T23:27:05.994+01:00The yolks on the eggs look amazing, really yellow....The yolks on the eggs look amazing, really yellow.
