    Also can we move it now, or is it too late for this season?

    Yes Olivedog. If you don't move it before the leaves come on it will be harder to keep lively. Hazels do have a big root quite early in life. Try not to damage it.

    I was about to ask the same question. I have just bought a twisted willow and googled for information and found this thread..... I'd also like to know if it will it grow in a north facing garden that gets some sun morning and evening?

    Sc0tland, welcome, do willows grow anywhere near where you live?image

  • I have also just found this thread having bought a twisted willow (also in scotland) last summer and am now wondering if it is still alive. During the summer the branches started turning black from the tips which eventually spread back. It is potted and has stayed outside in what is a relatively mild winter and I have no idea what to do with it.  Any suggestions?

    It's hardy and would be OK outside but black is dead. Have you a photo to show the extent of the black?

    Re moving twisted hazel.  I had one as a gift from a friend and when I moved house I decided it had to come with me.  I dug it up and put the root ball in a black plastic bad.  We lost the house we were moving to and the hazel spent 10 weeks in a plastic bag in the middle of summer with me pouring jugs of water into the bag until we moved into a new property.  It suvived and is now growing happily in my new garden 5 years later.  They are sturdy trees.  Hope yours survives.

    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
  • Hi I'm new to gardening and looking for some ideas, we have a beautiful twisted willow which is well maintained however after cutting it back in the autumn I wanted to know if I could use these branches for any other purpose in my garden ?
