The Willow chose me! Awh, I love that! Beautiful structures! I'd love to sit within that beautiful tunnel.

[@robertwessels9827]

Magic! I love it!

[@mrspleasants8529]

I have had willow fencing for years...wonderful!

[@jenkemjones68]

What species of willow?What kind do I buy for natural living fences?There is are so many.Thanks!

[@verdant_veneration]

@@jenkemjones68its important to buy live shoots. The time between cutting the shoots and getting them in the ground needs to be minimised. As far as I know many types of willow can be used, that can also be used for pollarding. Look for a willow nursery in your area. There are many videos on this platform with how-toos so maybe those can help you along!

[@helentc]

@@jenkemjones68The Weeping Willow in my area doesn't need to be rushed into the ground. It is one of the best natural rooting agents around. You can make other plants root with a tea from it's leaves & twigs. Perhaps you can find some wild Willows in your area?

[@jenkemjones68]

@helentc Got them in the ground and they are growing quick.Already had to prune them after a couple of weeks to get the to grow outward more.They are corkscrew willows which I'm hoping will reach my goal of a privacy fence.

[@mrspleasants8529]

[@getinthespace7715]

This is pretty neat. Would be cool to build a living structure like that. Lots of work but the result is beautiful.

[@surendersingal2192]

Great talent n artistry.

[@kat7777]

Amazing

[@ladyb003]

Beautiful structures. Wish I had the time and patience. Take care.

[@mhm3437]

You are an truly artist!!!

[@sajidullah]

Nice !

[@matthayes533]

I would love to build that larger stucture in my back yard but i'm asking myself how in the heck am i going to trim it down each year. Best guess I have for me would be to trim it back to just the side poles and let it grow into itself every spring.

[@IsaacNewton1966]

I have thought of doing this, however, I would have to fence the whole area in. Rabbits loves willows!

[@volcanowb]

We are blessed here on earth.

[@ashleylambson]

Really cool

[@steverundle8635]

What variety of willow are you using? So many vines and willows around our lake, would love to train these instead of getting rid!

[@wiesbadengera1]

you are talented

[@jaymzgaetz2006]

Sweet...how much for a skyscraper made of sequoia?

[@bibianagiunta3032]

It´s so beautiful! What kind of willow o you use?

[@tish1844]

❤️❤️❤️

[@gypsy269]

omg i thought id seen everything you could do with treess and such this is stunning you should teach

[@slimsassi2513]

Hello , can such hut be made using californian peruvian peper tree branches ?

[@1Chimonger]

Wow~! Wonderful! Questions... Can willows be planted into structure shapes if near a septic system drain field? How close can it be planted? If one does not have a pond near the willows, will they still survive...or will they need constant watering? Where can I find enough living willow cuttings to do a project? Has anyone put waterproof liners inside them? Anyone "planted a tiny house" using this tech?

[@ltexas8844]

1Chimonger have to be careful Roots can wreck septic fields and lines

[@GoingNoWhereFast]

How do you learn to do this??

[@lukesutton4135]

"The willow choose me"

[@evalera38]

willows are finicky. don't they need to be near a water source to thrive? how are they kempt from drying out?

[@petrahausler5155]

Ich würde gerne sehen wie so ein Zaun nach 10 Jahren aussieht!

[@tusharacharekar2727]

Really awesome ideas for making plant structure...Which plant are best to make this structure..?

[@wolfsangeleyes]

Are you serious? Willow, of course.

[@JulieWertz83]

There are hundreds of varieties of willows. Willowsvermont.com has a list of willows suitable for use with structures.

[@nunyabiznes33]

I don't think we can grow willows in my country but maybe we can try this with gliciridia which is used to make living fences.

[@user-gt5md8pm6u]

What kind of willow tree?

[@elizarobinrobinson4294]

do you use rooting hormone on the ground ends

[@wm3237]

Elizarobin Robinson I am new to gardening and plant propagation but they root easily without hormones. I've started soon dappled willows and will be starting some black pussy willows soon. Good luck.

[@TheAlliCat]

They actually have a natural rooting hormone in them already. You can make Willow Water to root other plants as well.

[@Someone-ht8ll]

rely wonderful jop the god please you

[@kuestanahmed7866]

I thought you teach me how to make!

[@ohadzic6377]
