Living Willow Wall
Wondering if anyone has made a living willow wall.
I have a small patio area at the rear of my garden which has my BBQ table and chairs
for a dining area.
The patio is covered in paving and the fence is ship lap wood fence.
I have a number of Hydrangeas in large pots in the corners which gives colour to
the area.
I was thinking of building some wooden troughs and making a living wall from willow
canes
has anyone else done this ? or does anyone have any idea whether it would work
if yes how deep should the troughs be.
Great to get some ideas and comments please

Willow loves water. Think riversides. Troughs may be too dry.
A great Idea I have some Fargesia Muirielae in a trough in my garden.
This morning after receiving your post I decided to go out
Remove the Bamboo from its trough and using an old saw I cut it through the
centre long way splitting the plant in two and then replanting it in two troughs which
made the screen I wanted.
So thank you so much
Now just praying that it will continue to grow and not die on me

Thanks for your thoughts that was my fear with Willow
Bamboo Fargesia is now being used as my screen
Once again cheers
