Living willow structure amongst a young tree plantation. Fourth year spring growth over winter pruning and tying in.
A willow structure made from rooted living willow rods planted into ground and tied together with cut willow rods. Created as a small deciduous native tree woodland was planted to the side of a garden. The location is not ideal as the willow will be shaded out and become weak. Photographed in June as new growth sprouts after winter pruning and reshaping which refined its shape. Originally a small neat dome the vigorous willow is forcing a change in shape to a more sinuous upright structure.
