Types of Living Willow Fence or Screening
Willow Fedge
This is a living Fence (Fence/Hedge).Willow rods are planted such that they for attractive latticework. This is straightforward to do and make a instant living barrier that simply needs trimming once or twice a year.
Willow Hedge
Willow cuttings or longer rods can be planted to form more traditional hedge. Any of our varieties can but used for this. Blocks of cuttings of different varieties make for a very attractive hedge with the various colours highlighted in the new growth.
Willow Panels
We do not build panels ourselves but can provide the willow for these.
Willow Walls
An example of these is shown on the photo here where 3 lines of fedge are being planted in parallel. These are attractive screen and reduce noise.
Willow Barriers
Substantial barriers can be made fairly easily and cheaply with Willow. Wide strips of membrane (5m x 100m rolls readily available) can be rolled out onto grass or weeds and 2,000 cuttings planted through it. Even in the first summer after planting this will provide excellent dense barrier great for wildlife. Salix Viminalis is the best variety for this.
