the tree that came down i reported in another post i was wondering if i could make posts to save on fencing in future as i was thinking of cutting 6-8ft lengths then the thicker pieces split somehow  can this be done and would it be worth while?

I have found that willow when it dies and left on the ground absorbs water like a big sponge and very quickly becomes mush.. for this reason I doubt it would make a good post, howver the young branches make good wattle hurdles as the bend easily these last for a while

you could plant the stems and weave a fedge very quick to establish and free.

used them many years ago for temp fencing, they will shoot and every one will grow into a tree!!!!

My husband stuck a piece of willow in to support his tomatoes, having run out of cane and now we have another willow tree. thats taken about 3 weeks.
