Common Osier (Salix Viminalis) Pack of 15 Cell Grown 2040cm

The RHS Osier Willow (Salix Viminalis) is a large native, deciduous hedge with young shoots covered with sift grey downy hairs. Followed by catkins in spring and are generally crowded towards the tips of twigs. They are yellow, between 1.53cm long and 0.51cm wide and are densely flowered. The long tapering leaves appear after the flowers; they are covered underneath with silky hairs and thinly puberulous above. Cell Grown Willow, Sallow and Osier hedges come with the benefit of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price. The plants come with their root systems intact, whereas bare root plants can lose the tiny fine feeding roots and root hairs when they are lifted. This means that they will become more established quicker than bare root. They can also be planted into warm soils when roots are active, outside the dormant period. Whereas the bare root season ends between April to September, September, October, March April and May are ideal months for planting cell grown plants. Infact, unlike bare root, you can plant cell grown plants throughout the year as long as the roots are kept moist. That is why 60% of the worlds forestry trees are now cell grown
