Varieties

Acutifolia is a rich, violet‑black willow, often used for accents and wow‑factor in basketry — and its striking colour makes it a refined, classy addition to your décor. 

Green Edna, Packing Twine, Koch Brown, Oka, Streamco are staples for basket-making. Their less-common cousins, Lambertiana, Bleu, and the curiously-named, 187, are also interwoven into willow creations and appreciated for their consistent, elegant rods. 

We also grow three varieties of cinnamon‑toned, fiery red‑orange willows — Belgian Red, Alba Vitellina Golden, and Alba Flame. These stems bring a natural glow to any basket or room. 

Building a fence, hedge, fedge, or furniture? Our sky-reaching Dasyclodas awaits your imagination!
