Very good service, I built a nice 4 metre long willow retaining bank, it took more rods than I thought bot it looks good and is functional, cant wait to see it grow. I used 13 mill rebar and put them in about a foot apart, my river bank looks great. I used 150 one metre rods witch made the retainer about a foot high, well worth the £150

I was disappointed in the diameter of these rods. I had assumed I would have the thick not the slim ends of a longer rod, which meant they could not be used for the purpose intended. They would be suitable for floristry or fine weaving but not for outside use. There is no information on the website re diameter of the 1m withies or purposes that they are suitable for, or coverage. They were however efficiently packed and delivered.

I ordered 10 cuttings of 17 varieties of willow, to get a bed established for future basket making and related activities. Service was amazing, and the bed looks great with the different colours. Can't wait until they grow, and we can get weaving!

These were just what we needed to make angel wings (under the Angel of the North), that grow in to a heart when planted. Thank you!

Received willow rods well protected and in good condition, the instruction leaflet included was helpful. Have used the rods on a steep hill behind our property hoping the root form will stabilise the clay/soil and prevent slippage in the future.
