These are traditional basket making varieties, producing long thin rods with little branching that can be soaked and dried for making willow baskets. They are also great for hedges or weaving into living structures. Cut them back to the ground every spring for the best shoots. An established stool (plant) can produce 6ft plus shoots in one season.
