Willows
for
Short Rotation Coppicing
and
Windbreaks
Willow Bed

These are willows that we recommend for Short Rotation Coppicing / Biomass Production
or as Windbreaks.
They can be harvested in a 3 or 4-year cycle.

If you require a low windbreak of 6-8 feet height or less,
please see also the sections for Ornamental / Hedging Willows and Willows for Rough Basketry.

On different positions these willows might grow in a different way
(for example not reaching the height they are reaching here)
and therefore this list should be seen as a guideline only.

All heights given here refer to the heights the mature willows reach
in one growing season, having been coppiced on a yearly basis.
