Salix purpurea 'Britney Green'

Wonderful basket willow - one of my favourite varieties! Grows most years without any side branching.
Slender, flexible rods with good tension. Great for any part of a basket.
When fresh it has a beautiful reddish colour dappled with some green.
When soaked for weaving it dries up again a beautiful purplish/green colour.


The information provided for each willow variety is based on my observations growing and using the willows here at Lakeshore Willows.
​I coppice the willow annually, therefore information about growth habit is quoted from Christopher Newsholme's book: Willows, The Genus Salix.
