But for a living willow fence to grow in your area, here's the advice I'm getting from people more familiar with your climate: Plant a living willow fence in the cooler season, mulch the heck out of it, and install a soaker hose for the first season at least. Once willow is established, it generally doesn't need additional moisture (your mileage may vary), but for the first growing season moisture is critical (not just in your climate).Donna Kallnerhttp://www.donnakallner.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-29871986326751734992012-04-02T19:26:35.790-05:002012-04-02T19:26:35.790-05:00Never hurts to ask -- let's see!Never hurts to ask -- let's see!Donna Kallnerhttp://www.donnakallner.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-78357820377529650602012-04-02T15:23:00.038-05:002012-04-02T15:23:00.038-05:00Gosh!

There's one for everything, so don't know why that surprises me :)<br /><br />I don't actually want to grow the willow fence, just make a fence or whatever from the willow. I am curious if there's one that will grow in the DFW area.

Maybe someone can suggest a variety suited to both your climate and a willow fence application. Just let me know!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190556099420613575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302412067740475800.post-65478304331159988392012-04-01T20:16:39.358-05:002012-04-01T20:16:39.358-05:00What kind of willow do you grow?
