How to make a wicker tree from willow with your own hands: you will get a real work of art - your neighbors will sigh with envy

Did you know that a willow can be turned into a real work of art – a spectacular wicker tree in the shape of a palm tree.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh shared instructions that will help you make a wicker willow tree with your own hands.

The first stage is cuttings

To grow such a palm tree on your site, prepare willow cuttings of the same length and thickness. You will need about 42 shoots per tree.

First, germinate them by placing them in water for 5 days and monitoring the growth of the roots. They should not be more than 1 millimeter in length, otherwise they will break when planting.

The second stage is landing

Take a 10-liter bucket and fill it with soil and humus. Stick the cuttings around the entire perimeter, having previously refreshed the cuts of the willow shoots.

Now you can start intertwining the branches in groups of 3. For convenience, rotate the container with soil while weaving the palm tree.

Secure each decorated layer with ropes or clothespins. Once finished, weave the top of the tree with a thin willow shoot.
