Hedge of willow cuttings why we decided to try to build this unusual fencing and what came of it
Faced with the need to protect its suburban area from prying eyes, our family decided to use the possibility of donated nature and to abandon the construction of a fence made of materials that are promoted by various organizations, preferring to live a professional flooring and netting fence.
The search of useful information on the network and the proximity of the site to the body of water solved all the problems, and to create hedge was chosen common willow, which is characterized by extraordinary vitality and strong growth shoots.
Of the several options offered by experienced vacationers and landscape designers, the majority of votes has been approved, the so-called curved fence, which looks more original, allowing you to acquire the necessary skills and fancy giving room for a more complex architectural forms.

- hammered pegs and fastened perch, which subsequently relied seedlings;
- placed in wells of a depth of not less than twenty centimeters planting material.
Our seedlings were placed at 45 ° angle to the ground, taking into account the fact that their trunks touching, so one leaning to the right, and the next - to the left, allowing, in the future, to weave between vines a.
When planting all the runners gently but firmly fixed on poles, helping to give the fence the desired configuration. They were abundantly watered, and the result was immediate.
To nurture a hedge of willow cuttings we did not have to purchase a plant capable of producing a continuous, high and wide enough barrier, such as arborvitae or barberries, but cut the young no more than one centimeter in diameter vine create a reliable barrier and continue experiments.
Given that the construction of such obstacles requires little financial investment, but for its cultivation is often used and willow cuttings Some other trees, many owners of country estates find a suitable plant material near the house, which opens a wide scope for creativity.
