Willow List

We can offer a selection of willows for basketry, water purification and ornamental purposes. Material can be supplied to suit your purposes as cuttings, sets or rods. All our plants have been established over the last six years and are growing very satisfactorily in our rich Herefordshire alluvial silts.

Prices negotiable, cuttings 50p or rods £1 each for small numbers of named varietes. P&P £5 or at cost for larger orders. Unnamed material, for hedge bindings etc, 50p each. Cheques to P R Norman.
