The New Zealand Poplar & Willow Research Trust
More than 1.6m ha of pastoral hill country needs space planted willows or poplars for erosion control. Most rivers require willows for bank stabilisation to manage flooding and waterways need shade. Significant shelter is provided by willows in horticultural areas, and shade and shelter are stock welfare issues. All these environments benefit from the special attributes of poplars and willows. This channel brings you videos to help you understand how to use poplars and willows for best advantage.
