How to make a willow gazebo in the garden

To be honest, it is enough to know the basics of creating such a gazebo and just start sticking a vine into the ground.

When the willow rises, it will be easy to figure out how to organize it into a tent.

Let's start with landing. Willow is such a tree that even if you just throw it on the ground or plant it upside down, it will still sprout. Just enough moisture.

Because Since this plant is quite aggressive, it is better to limit the planting of willow under the gazebo in the ground with plastic or a special film for weed control, so that later you do not have to deal with overgrown willow roots in the garden or near cesspools.

Don't let the willow rise too high. Timely trim the frame of the gazebo to the desired height.

This is especially required for shoots at the very top. Therefore, calculate the height of the gazebo so that you can reach its highest point when cutting.

Form the risen shoots in time - what is a thin twig today, next year it is already difficult to bend, and in a year the stiff wood will grow where it wants to.

Therefore, frame seedlings must be bent into a dome BEFORE they reach the desired length (do not be afraid to use ordinary twine for this). When they grow to the right height, they can be so stiff that you won't bend them.

You can create a living gazebo in several stages. In the first year, plant seedlings for the frame. In subsequent years, plant new young seedlings between them. In fact, you will not make a living gazebo, you will “weave” it.

The thickness of the seedling for planting a live gazebo is about 1.5 cm. Simply cut the required number of rods with a pruner and place them in a bucket of water until they take root.

When planting, the petioles should be buried in the soil to a depth of 30 cm. You can use an iron rod for this - make a deep hole and deepen the seedling in it. Take your time and do not fuss - you will need 2-3 years to form a full-fledged gazebo.

If the result is not to your liking. You can just cut everything off and start over.

Use your imagination to make your beautiful living gazebo. Remember that even when the gazebo is ready, you need to water it, cut it and plant new seedlings.

We hope that working on this unique project will make you happy.
