    Tips

    September 28, 2023

    Pollarded willows have been around for many centuries. As willow trees are very prone to drifting, which is due to their often difficult location in river and stream floodplains, they were "cultivated" early on to obtain building and fuel material, as well as for fodder. The branches are cut every year or two. The rods were used to build fences ("garden" comes from the word "rod") and of course for basket weaving. An inexpensive and very sustainable natural material. The brushwood could heat the ovens and the leaves could be fed fresh or dried to goats, sheep and horses. It's a shame that this is only done very rarely anymore, because it would mean that the pollarded willows could be cared for better again. Today the material is piled up to rot. Burning is nonsense these days.
