Salix bebbiana Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses General Uses: A pioneer species, readily invading any cleared-out area if there is sufficient moisture[229]. It is short-lived and not very shade tolerant and so, having provided good conditions for other woodland trees to become established, it is eventually out-competed by them[K]. The pliable stems are used in basket making[226, 229]. The plant is usually coppiced annually when grown for basket making, though it is possible to coppice it every two years if thick poles are required as uprights. The bark has been twisted into cord and made into strong rope, bags and dresses[257]. The bark has been used for sewing birch bark onto basket frames[257]. The wood often has diamond-shaped depressions on the bark caused by a fungus. This wood is considered to be very ornamental and is carved into canes, lamp posts and furniture[229]. The wood has also been used to make baseball bats and to make charcoal[229]. For further Salix bebbiana gardening information |
