Wow Hanna, you're SERIOUS! SO many willows and so much of it. Wow...

Because of your videos Hanna I just preordered 20 willow cuttings that I’ll plant this spring. Thank you for a series of educational - and inspiring videos. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for this video. I really enjoyed it. I’ll probably never grow willow for basketry but it is good to realize what goes into the craft.

You are fantastic! In my opinion i think you are the top willow basket topic channel on youtube. Thank you for putting everything you do on here! Im halfway across the world & can learn from you because there is no local places to learn at here. Im going to order my first willow cuttings this year!

Hi Hanna! Hard to believe this was only 4 months ago; that yearly circle we go through with willow is magical and very very grounding. Loved this video, the level of detail you go into is exactly what I've been hoping to find. Aside from the wealth of information passed along it's also nice to finally watch someone else nerding out over willow with abandon! Really looking forward to that upcoming coppice vs pollard level video. So interesting to see the tilled/cardboard pollards doing so well compared to the no dig/newspaper ones this year. Might feel like a 'mistake' but I really really appreciate the insight your hiccup allows us all so we can learn from your experience. I will spend the next few weeks planting all sorts of basketry willow all over the place and am very excited to embark on this journey. Thank you for being such a generous and confidence-building teacher!

Thank you so much for sharing

Молодец так держать!!!

love it!

Now this is one of the most helpful videos on youtube! Hanna you rock, this is so helpful!!! Thank you!

What is the music playing in the background? Love it .

Hi Hanna, I loved wandering around with you on your tour :) Why can't you use rods if they are branched? Mine have branched a lot in their 3rd year. They are soooooo tall. I wonder will they branch less next year. thank you and I hope you are enjoying your new studio

thank you for sharing your knowledge. I would love to grow willow, but am concerned it is known to be invasive. Can you please give some advise on this? thank you.

Hanna, we are thinking about creating a reed bed style grey water treatment system, but instead of planting reeds to clean the water I was thinking about planting willows! I won't be making a ton of baskets, but if I could plant a few different colored varieties to treat and clean our grey water I'd be getting a double yield from the willows. Cleaning our water whilst providing us basket material. That's my thought anyway. Do you know the best place in the US to order different willow varieties or only the best in your area? Thanks for the inspiration!

Красивая ива и сортов много.

Can you tell us the variety of willow you grow the long willow ?

What type of willow do your grow ?

I think most of your problems may go away if you add compost and fertilizer to help feed it and grow stronger.

And what is the name of the tune that is played throughout this video? Sounds like on a harp

What kind of willow for weaving would you recommend for warmer Mediterranean climes? There are many willow growing here, I think they are called ‘crack willow’ because the bigger older branches crack and fall to the ground and sometimes that branch will grow and other times it will die, but I notice that the young saplings seem to branch out more in their growing pattern than yours - yours are so straight and tall and singular…

Question at 23:40 is the rod growth below the main thick stool 'ok' or should it be rubbed off early? Obviously not feasible in a large bed! Thank you for the informative video

Hanna I am going to grow some willow this year. I live in the northeast NH USA Do I plant in the spring? And how long until I can harvest the willow? Is it three years or longer? Thank you so much for sharing your skill. You are amazing. I would like to order from your site for the willow but having trouble creating an account. Maybe you can direct me? Thank you. Biggest fan.😊

What do you do if/when you discover disease or bugs?

Hanna, I would love some advice on getting started with growing a large amount of willow. Acreage needed? Can you start small, like 1/2 acre? There are few commercial growers in the states and I am interested in bringing in a more local source.

Hello, can you suggest varieties that would be good to try in the California dryer weather??

Hannah, do you sell willow cuttings? I would be interested in starting a bed of Flanders Red, but would like long cuttings if possible. I started my 'Eel Catchers Willow' this year on 2ft cuttings and they are doing exceptionally well, while the Black Maul I purchased as 25cm cuttings are poor and variable by comparison. Have you tried Flanders Red on long stocks?

Is that fireweed I see among the willows? 4:22-5;10. Looks like spent fireweed, but probably not. I am in interior Alaska and the fireweed grows well in the same places the willow does.

Is that some type of hogweed at around 19:00 ? Don't want to let that touch skin. Hope donkeys are canny :) I guess you can prune out or remove inner rows as time goes on if heads get too big. Giving more space and ventilation.

Hi Hanna, I'm in PEI, Canada (zone 5), can I ask what varietal of willow you would recommend for a willow fence? And do I need to be concerned with pipe damage with all varietals, regarding sewage/water lines? Thank you.

what tome of year?

I see a good deal of " how to" online articles and videos about live willow sculpture and fencing, but can find no clear advice as to what kind of willow to use, or where to obtain it. For beginners, this not obvious, and necessary information is a barrier to undertaking any project.

Not much evidence or rabbits or deer?
