    If you have problems with your hands I would strongly advise against it as you will be forever out with the secateurs snipping to keep it looking good.

      I had a willow fedge: once was enough. It grows quickly, but doesn't ever want to stop. Now I have edible fedges: thornless blackberry.

          Hi i also thought when got my new allotment that willow would make a good fence to keep gardens apart and a gardening mate gave me some cuttings from a job he was on. Just planted the cuttings in the ground 18inch apart and after two years have now began to dig them out.

          As others have mentioned it takes time and effort to keep in check cut back and it grows with alarming speed so need the time for the actual garden. Also have found that the rooting systems for this invasive tree grow also quickly and have grow into my beds with the veg

          Not into weaving however you may have to be careful you plant the actual willow you can use happy gardening
