Willow dome


Willow dome (salix)

My willow dome just coming into bud. This is now one year old and provides fantastic shade through the summer.

It was supplied as a bundle of about 70 whips, a 2mtr sq piece of weed membrane and brief instructions. Lay the membrane out then just stick the whips straight into the ground through the membrane in the desired shape, not forgetting you're entrance.
I shall take more pics as it grows this year.

Ahhahah... good old willow... great idea there...wonder if there's a vine that would complement the willow and help fill in..? I've seen teepee's made with prunings and planted with morning glories...It's a kiddies project ...when the flowers fill in and bloom the child has a little play house to enjoy.. Great!

You should see some of my more recent pics of this, now it's full of lush green leaves. I have added some climbers to it as well just for a bit of colour.

Many years ago my mother made one of these. The willows took root and it looked really good.

wow, that looks a good project - whizzing over to see more pics.

would make a great all-round shelter, if it could be waterproofed (naturally!) which is what I'm thinking.
