Nice pen ! What kind of tree is willow is it like poplar ?:thinks:

They are related, the Willow tends to like heaps of water in our City they grubbed them all out their roots bind a bank but create real problems over time, they are drooping in their growth.

Poplars vary but tend to be upright, more slender, some grown intensively for making safety matches.
