just wondering my mom has this hugggggggggggggge weeping willow in her front garden, im wondering can i make willow balls rings etc ? can they nibble straight from tree or would i have to thoughly dry them out before giving them to my buns, also another question am i allowed to sell them or would i have to go through some say checks etc before selling, i mean this tree is mahooooosive and has to be cut bk every year,
 
I've brought some home made ones from a car boot last year. You can give willow branches I think so just make them dry them out and ta da, willow balls.

I keep meaning to ask on freecycle for willow branches to do this but haven't got around to it. Or find a 'wild' one that no one would miss a little. :lol:
 
shame your not closer im sure me mom wouldnt mind a couple of branches missing :lol: im just wondering if theres a particular willow retailers use or just any ole tree, i sat in the garden today stripping leaves i found the balls hard to make as i thought it would be easier to mould into shape while fresh then leave to dry out which i now have mini wreaths drying in my airing cupboard, very theaputic making them though
