| Re: Kilmarnock willow - worth coppicing?
I planted a native Salix caprea ( pussy willow) last year as the catkins are food for bees. Mine has not got the weeping habit. I was told I could keep it small by pruning it. The Kilmarnock is a ornamental type so like m1 said it was grafted on a standard rootstock so will not come back as a weeping tree. I thought it was only the large weeping willows that caused problems with water pipes and not the ornamental type. I mat be wrong. |
