�£349 and definately in need of a hair cut - or do you have to pay extra for that!!! As to the contorted willow, I may cause some controvercy here, but I think they are a very poor relation, and much faster growing.
I don't like the contorted willow - don't know why - just don't! I can do the unreasonable female just as well as anybody! The corkscrew hazel gets my vote anyday!
Just for the record, I dont like either of them. Cant stand a distorted tree. :D Unless its been shaped by the elements that is.
Oh don't mention virus or you will have everyone digging them up in fright! couldn't believe it on the news when they said people were trying to get rid of garden birds because they were in fear of getting bird flu! anyway it would at least bring the price down.
