A drawn plan would helpus to envisage what's happening with the willow... I'm impressed that you are going to subdue the Caithness winds!
I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a new video from y'all. Still loving the Willow and am going to start another Willow wall on the farm as well. Thank you
Great!
Completed it, mate!
This was such a cool video with the tutorial and update! It is exciting to see the progress you have made! Yeaaaaa! :)
Thanks!
It's really coming on well. We have found the red stemmed willow to be really slow growing though.
Much slower than other willows I agree. We finally get to cut a decent amount this year though!
Cool, sounds like a great project!
How has the RMH been for you guys?
All the best!
It's been absolutely fantastic.
Another advantage of using cuttings that size must be that they are less susceptible to vole damage? Just discovered a number of what I believed were established hedge plants, protected by tubes, have been completely chiselled through at or below the surface. Frustrating!
I'm hoping so. We've lose a few trees every winter, but nothing important this last winter, luckily.
I just bought a windy field in Ireland, so it's interesting to see what you are doing with a windy site. I'm putting in willow and I might try a few of the rowan hybrids like Sorbaronia Burka as they produce edible berries and are supposed to be tasty. Do you have any experience with the rowan hybrids?
I've not used them myself, I've plenty of plain old rowan in the shelterbelts though, and one wild service tree that's growing really well.
