Shipping policy

At Le Bosquet, every order is carefully prepared and packaged from our farm in Sarsfield, Ontario, Canada. Because many of our products are grown and harvested seasonally, shipping timelines vary depending on the items you've ordered.

General Shipping Information

In-stock products, including dried basketry willow, decorative willow, vegetarian sheep fleeces, and other boutique items, are typically processed and shipped within 3 business days.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking information.

Shipping rates are calculated automatically at checkout based on your delivery address, package size, and selected shipping method.

If your order contains both seasonal products (such as dormant willow cuttings) and in-stock items, your order may be shipped separately to ensure each product arrives at the appropriate time.

Dormant Willow Cuttings & Living Willow Whips

Dormant willow cuttings and living willow whips are available for pre-order beginning each July for the upcoming dormant season.

To maximize planting success, all dormant willow products are harvested, prepared, and shipped while fully dormant. Orders are typically shipped between mid-January and mid-April, depending on your location, local weather conditions, and the shipping method selected during checkout.

We carefully schedule shipments to ensure your willow arrives at the ideal time for planting in your growing region.

The shipping cut-off date for dormant willow orders is April 1.

Whenever possible, live plant material is shipped early in the week (Monday through Wednesday) to minimize time in transit.

Fresh Willow Rods

Fresh willow rods are harvested during the dormant season and are shipped between January and April, subject to availability and weather conditions.

Like our dormant cuttings, fresh rods are harvested and shipped while dormant to ensure the highest quality upon arrival.

Brown Basketry Willow & Decorative Willow

Our dried basketry willow, decorative willow stems, pussy willow, and other dried natural materials are available year-round while supplies last.

Orders are typically processed and shipped within 3 business days.

Minimum Order Quantities

Living willow whips: 50 whips

Salix Viminalis – ‘Common Osier’

Salix Viminalis, commonly known as Common Osier, is a highly versatile and vigorous willow variety. This willow is renowned for its impressive growth and adaptability, making it a popular choice for a range of uses.

Key Features:

Growth and Size: Common Osier grows rapidly, producing tall, unbranched rods that reach 9 to 12 feet annually. The rods are bright green and highly flexible, making them easy to work with.
Foliage: It features narrow leaves on short stems, giving the plant a dense, lush appearance.
Uses: Ideal for constructing living structures and woven hedges, the straight, flexible rods are perfect for garden projects. The rods are strong, making them suitable for wattle fence weaving and structural applications.
Additional Benefits: This willow is excellent for windbreaks when planted in rows. It can be left for 2-3 years for a robust short rotation coppice, providing excellent firewood for stoves or kindling if coppiced annually. This species is also used for biomass production.

Practical Tips:

Maintenance: For optimal results, coppice annually or every 2-3 years depending on your needs.
