OUR LIVING WILLOW SEASON IS EARY DECEMBER 2024 to LATE FEBRUARY 2025.

The following applies for this living willow season :

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORDER A QUANTITY GREATER THAN THE CURRENT INVENTORY IS SHOWING AS AVAILABLE PLEASE GET IN TOUCH.

KITS USING 11 ft LONG WHIPS : Unfortunately, the even higher than standard delivery cost for these longer lengths means that we have had to reluctantly decide that these whips and kits using them are ONLY AVAILABLE FOR COLLECTION or LOCAL DELIVERY.

PLEASE NOTE : We will not be sending out over the Christmas/New Year break period – the last despatch date before Christmas with DX will be Wednesday 18th December and the last despatch date before Christmas with EVRi will be Monday 16th December – and we will start to send out again in the New Year on Monday 6th January 2025.

PLEASE NOTE : We will need at least a couple of days’ notice before despatch to cut/sort/prepare the willow.

If you are interested in ordering 10 or 11 ft long whips or a Large Tunnel, Large Dome or Large Half Bower Kit please ring 01536 791371 or email anne@willowsnursery.co.uk .

PLANTING :
You should plant your willow within a couple of weeks of delivery, so please let us know if you would like delivery delayed or certain dates avoided.

Salix Viminalis “Bowles Hybrid” is the main variety of willow we have for Living Willow Kits, but we also supply alternative varieties of suitable lengths.

DELIVERY : Long willow whips, Kits and Bundles.

Long willow whips, Kits and Bundles must either be sent by a specialist carrier (at a cost of £19.00 to most addresses in mainland England and Wales**) or collected from the Nursery (by appointment).

The specialist carrier we use to send long willow whips and kits, must deliver the willow on their first visit. A re-delivery charge will be incurred if they cannot find the property or cannot leave the parcel safely which we will need to pass on, so please make sure that you provide all* information necessary to ensure that delivery on the first attempt can take place.

*If you are not in to sign for the delivery, they will leave the parcel – please let us know if you would like to specify where it is left ie in the car port/over the side gate etc.

*Please provide directions/identifying features if you think that they will help the carrier to find your property more easily to avoid delays.

Neither we nor the carrier can be held responsible for parcels that are left – please bear this in mind before you place your order !

**Delivery to mainland Scotland, Scottish Highlands & Islands and the Isle of Wight :

PLEASE NOTE : We can arrange delivery of long willow whips, kits and bundles to Scotland, Scottish Highlands and Islands and the Isle of Wight too – but the carriage charge will be higher.

Please get in touch if you would like to find out the cost of delivery to these locations.
