From this...
to this...
in just 10 weeks.
Who would have guessed
a bundle of twisted twigs could turn so quickly into a living sculpture? I received
the bare bundle back at the end of February, popped it in a pot, and gave it
plenty of water. Within days, green shoots appeared which have now developed
into a topiary crown. The next step is to prune it into a ball, and it
will be ready to take its place as a delightful garden feature. As per the
instructions, I’ve kept the tie around the stems, but over the years, these
should graft together to become one single willow trunk, while retaining the
beautiful twisted decorative effect of the stem. Definitely some magic at work
there.
