Pollarded willow

The Pollarded Willow is a form of willow tree obtained through regular pruning, which encourages the growth of new branches and extends the tree's life. This practice gives the tree a distinctive shape with a lush crown of young branches. Commonly found in rural landscapes and along waterways, it is valued for its adaptability to wet soils. The flexible branches have traditionally been used for making baskets and other wicker crafts.
