Free: Willow for weaving, staking plants or burning (Nether Stowe WS13) Withdrawn I’ve pruned our rampant willow trees. Can anyone make use of the wood? The thinner twigs are flexible so why not have a go at making a basket? Or use some for pea or bean sticks. Or if you have space, plant some cuttings Or build a wigwam for play or to support some plants? Endless possibilities but needs collecting from North Lichfield asap please Thanks for reading
