These 10 bare root Black Maul willow cuttings, 30cm long, come from a smallholding in Caerphilly, Wales grown using organic methods. A basketmaker who has been cultivating and weaving willow since 2009 grows each cutting with care and experience. Black Maul is highly versatile, prized for basketry thanks to its strong, flexible, rich brown stems.
Whether you want to create baskets, sculptures, or a dedicated willow patch, these cuttings give you the perfect start. Planting willow also brings many environmental benefits. Willow establishes quickly, prevents soil erosion, and improves soil structure. Its dense growth provides shelter and habitat for birds, insects, and small mammals, boosting garden biodiversity. Willow is sustainable and renewable, making it an eco-friendly choice for crafts and home projects. Growing your own willow allows you to harvest responsibly year after year.
Plant the cuttings through weed suppressant fabric to help them establish quickly. Prepare the fabric before your order arrives for easier planting. For basketry, space cuttings 30cm apart with 60cm between rows. Block planting often gives the best results, while wider spacing lets the cuttings grow into larger rods or trees.
Plant your cuttings as soon as possible. If you can’t plant immediately, store them in a cool place or in the fridge inside a plastic bag. You can plant them until the end of March while the weather stays cold. Cut basketry rods back to the original cutting each winter after the first year to encourage fresh, straight growth.
Willow cuttings are living plants, grown on my smallholding and harvested fresh shortly before dispatch. I send them at the appropriate time during the winter cutting season to ensure maximum freshness and viability.
