    So nice looking! I wish we had more willow around here. But, there is bamboo, so maybe I'll try with that and some twine.

    I usually do.mine with our local bamboo Arundo donax. Thank you for the detailed tips

      I've always seen a lot of Arundo around Europe, but never any here in the UK, I think it must be cold sensitive. Its amazing how tall it grows.

    Very helpful, thanks. How do you stop the willow from sprouting?

    • @Gardeningat58N
      @Gardeningat58N  3 года назад +1

      I allow my to sprout, however you can dip the bottom of the stems in boiling water to kill the bottom of the stems and stop rooting.

    I would love if you could manage to root the willow branches, and turn it into a live obelisk. Growing into each other where tied at the top. Willows do root so easily... Granted, they would eventually thicken up a bit too much to be used

    Hey again, thinking of trying thornless blackberry canes...any thoughts?

    • @Gardeningat58N
      @Gardeningat58N  3 года назад

      They might work for a small obelisk if they are very thick canes, however the stems are brittle once dry and rot quickly so don't expect to get more than one season out of them.

    I was laughing when you slipped and called the willow bamboo, because I was already trying to figure out how to do this with (false) bamboo. I may be able to use the green leaves to tie or I may try mulberry bark. But, I don't think it is nearly as flexible. Possibly with blackberry canes? I saw a video where a person made a quick basket with them.

      I did it a few times when filming as I usually make my obelisks out of bamboo, but I managed to edit most of the mistakes out. Do you have any phormium plants or pampas grass? they both have long strappy leaves which are both strong and flexible.
