Sundry Wood Products

Pea Sticks

Cut from the tops of hazel stems, we choose only those that fan out to a broad shape. 4 to 5 feet tall with 6 to 8 inches to push into the soil.

Seasonal only: £8.40 inc. VAT for ten, collected only.
Bean Sticks
Bean Sticks

These are 8 feet long ash or hazel rods, allowing 12 inches to be pushed into the soil, and about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. They will last several seasons if stored away during winter.

Seasonal only: £12.00 inc. VAT for ten, collected only.
Willow

We sell bolts (bundles) of willow suitable for hurdle or screen making. These rods are a year’s growth of an old basket willow variety called “Old French”. They reach 4 to 6 feet tall and each bundle covers 18 square feet of weave. The willow is green and supple for use in early spring, but will become dry as summer progresses and would then require soaking before use to re-establish flexibility.

Dry bundle £40.00 each inc. VAT
Soaked bundle £45.00 each inc. VAT

Flower Stakes

Made to order to the size you require, either from ash, hazel or chestnut. Straight and with a point,  approximately 1.5 inches in diameter and 5 feet long. Used to support delicate or tall plants such as dahlias or sunflowers.

Price £14.40 inc. VAT for a bundle of ten. The photo shows from left to right; an ash pole, a sawn chestnut tree stake 2″ square, and a cleft chestnut stake.
Living Willow Structures

Simple willow tunnel – We are able to supply materials for simple living willow structures as well as being able to build them ourselves. We recommend you think carefully about the siting of any live willow structure as the willow routes can become invasive in particular situations. One should avoid proximity to buildings, clay lined/natural ponds, ditches, drains etc. and overhead power lines if the rods grow too tall.

Our chopping blocks are made of chestnut which has a very high tannin content, a natural preservative, and so will last for many years outside in all weathers. Each can be cut to the height you require, and are wide at the base making them suitably stable.

We produce several miscellaneous products. Some are available seasonally, such as pea sticks or bean poles, whereas others maybe in stock or may have to be ordered well in advance. The raw materials for our products are mostly harvested during winter, so if you require an unusual product, it is best to order early at the beginning of autumn so we can ensure you are not disappointed.
