[Woodcarver] Diamond willow growth

[Gene and Darlene Bremmer]

Hi there Old' Joe

Well now that is a unique question, I don't scientifically know the answer to that.  But, I will give you a guess.  Areas that I have cut about 4 or 5 years ago and now I go back I am finding new willows growing again and they are about 1 to 1 1/2 inch diameter.  Some of them have diamonds and some do not.  This is a same area where I do a little deer hunting and I have tried to clear out an area for a sight lane and about a year or so later it is all grown up again.  So they do grow fast and I must have a Zillion willows on my 40 acres of land.  Not all of it is diamond willow though.  But I do have a mosquito behind every single willow bush.  

Wow, that is giving a lot of verbage for NO answer isn't it?  I will have to see if I can find any more information on it.  

Have a good Labor Day weekend Joe.  

Gene
