I think they look great - even better in winter than in the summer in my opinion as the architecture of the structure is clearer - I love them - just can't have one here as the soil is much too free-draining for willow - but on my regular journey to see my Aged Ps seeing the fedge is a much enjoyed highlight of the trip
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I have 2 boundaries of Hawthorn and personally I think they are great , the one at the bottom of the garden is full of birds and nests and they " do not " mind when you cut it or if you use shears or electric hedge trimmer
I am sure willow would work as long as you keep them cut , you can also grow other things through it

Dove, do these "fedges" look good in winter as well as when they are in leaf?

Landgirl - personally I think they look even better in the winter.
I might even grow a teepee for the children. My daughter wants me to then grow sweet peas around it!
