how to sell willow cuttings

    Hi,


    I have a willow coppice of 2000 trees for personal use.
    I cut the first 500 last winter, but due to being super busy all year I never tended to the new growth.


    I was intending to thin it out to approx 3 rods per tree as I'm growing mini-logs... but there are WAAAYYYY more, and very long!


    I estimate I could provide 50-100,000 cuttings.


    They are a hybrid vigorous variety from Bow Hayes Trees. When I planted them I had a 99.99% success rate (good soil, east coast) and they grow extremely well.


    TBH I got so many mini-logs from the 500, and considering I have 1500 more to go, that I am thinking of just cutting it all back again this winter. I will probably just mulch it all and store to use around the base of trees that I plant.


    But I'm wondering now if there is an easy market for it? If I got 50,000 3 foots from it, then it could cost me over 50,000GBP to purchase the equivalent!


    Does anybody know of anyone setting up a coppice and might be interested in some kind of very advantageous-to-them deal?
