WILLOW FEDGE

A Fedge is the name given to a willow trellis style hedge - part fence, part hedge. The willow cuttings are interwoven and tied to give a strong trellis structure that will form a barrier from a relatively early age. By planting at an angle new growth is encouraged along the length of the stem, rather than just at the top. The fedge below is double for extra strength and quicker growth, the purpose being to give a windbreak and shelter. New growth will be woven in to thicken the fedge.
