Cutting size:
cuttings are normally available as 1ft, 2ft, 3ft or 4ft lenghts.
1ft willow cuttings are used when planting beds for coppicing to ground level. 1ft willow cuttings can also be planted for other purposes where high quality weed control is used for the first 2 growing seasons. For instance to plant a hedge through a weed suppressing mulch matt.

2ft (60cm) willow cuttings. This is a good size to choose for planting garden hedges or windbreaks where high quality weed control is possible. 3ft (90cm) willow cuttings. Plant this size where weed control cannot be guaranteed or for short pollards. 4ft (1.2m) willow cuttings. Useful where rabbits nibbling the willow cutting may be a problem.
