Hey all. Took a few cuttings last autumn of my twisted willow and blow me down, they've all taken! I've given a few away, but have 3 left if anyone interested, though am already racking brains as to how to pack!! :-\

Hi Lottie. If I can grow it in a pot I'd love one please. I assume it's a corkscrew willow in which case you obviously post it in a wine bottle! ;) ;D

UC Just a suggestion for packing bigger plants etc. If you have a signwriter near you ask for the cardboard rolls that the vinyl is rolled on to..Byeeee
