If your going to plant  willow for biomass may as well imo try & source some rods of  the   biomass cultivars as theese specially breed  biomass willows grow alot more rapidly than most normal ones.

 

Some are actually  illegal to self propergate though  😏

 

Mulch or black plastic really helps  rapid establishment

 

 

Would the mulch/black plastic help with any rod (assume that's what the whips are also know as?) planted in a hostile environment (bind weed, nettles et cetera)?

 

 do you know what the illegal ones are called?🤫
