We offer a range of productive and native willows to suit all uses and interests.
These named willow varieties have been bred for high productivity and selected based on results in multi-site trials over a number of years. They are typically much higher yielding than native willow species. These varieties are covered by Plant Breeders’ Rights.
Native species plug plants are from known provenances. Each plug plant is a unique individual, and each batch of plug plants will show a typical population bell curve. In terms of a phenotypic trait such as height, this means that there will be some short ones, some tall ones and a lot that are in the middle.
