Order Common Osier saplings (Salix viminalis) online – a fast-growing native willow ideal for creating natural screens, hedging, or even sustainable fuel sources. These vigorous saplings can grow up to 4–6ft per year, making them perfect for quickly establishing cover, reducing noise, or stabilising damp ground.

Common Osier saplings thrive in wet or marshy areas and are widely used across the UK in environmentally friendly planting schemes. They’re often coppiced to produce renewable fuel for biomass and wood-burning stoves, and the flexible twigs are traditionally used in basket-making and cane work.

Left uncut, they can reach up to 6 metres tall, but respond well to regular cutting or shaping. Our Salix viminalis saplings are currently 30–50 cm in height and can be planted throughout the year.
