    Anyone know of you can buy Willow Whips in Ireland? I used to get them in the UK, but with Brexit they wont ship to Ireland anymore. 4ft whips for planting biomass is what I'm after. Thanks.

    Many thanks, I know it's wrong time, just trying to plan ahead. the Brexit situation meant I missed out on planting any this year.

    Is it you need a very large quantity Smeee, as I would have thought it'd be easy enough to cut some off existing Willow trees?

    Why don't you just take cuttings off what you have?
