Fantail Willow: Contorted Branches from February
Newsletter dated April 2, 2020
Explore the contorted shape of fantail willow in the farm’s April 2020 archive, with notes on winter-to-spring cuts and mature hellebore harvesting.
The silhouette of fantail willow
The source highlights contorted branching as the novelty of fantail willow. Patrick places the start of its supply in February, within the mid-to-late-winter cut-branch season.
Companions through spring
The newsletter showed contorted chestnut, spirea, white and pink cherry and pussy willow. Four-foot chestnut cuts were described in ten- or twenty-branch bundles, a historical example of structural branch packing.
The 2020 market change
Patrick explained that hellebores, normally sold locally, were being offered wholesale during market closures. He noted harvesting them mature to help avoid early wilting. These are historical crop and market observations.
