As folk might know from the website, our land runs down to the river, which is tidal where we are.
We're having a fence put along the bank to stop incursions from the sheep next door (so far ours haven't gone the other way).
Would we be able to plant willow on the river side of the fence i.e. woudl it stand the conditions? It might help stabilise the bank and would provide shelter, as well as wood, of course.
