Willow Dragon. History Talk 0. Do you like this video? Releasing predatory insects such as lady beetles can help control some insect populations, such as aphids and lace bugs.
Regular applications of horticultural oil can help manage scale populations if applied as directed. Water stressed trees are more susceptible to pests, so irrigate regularly to help the tree stay healthy. Mechanical injury caused by lawn mowers or pruning shears can also invite pests. Leaf diseases such as powdery mildew, leaf spot, rust and tar spot can cause ornamental damage but are not usually serious enough to warrant control.
Rake up and destroy fallen, diseased leaves to help keep the disease from spreading. Avoid watering young trees from overhead, as splashing water on the leaves invites fungal disease. If sunken cankers appear on branches, prune them as soon as possible and sterilize pruning equipment afterward. Canker will kill the tree if it is allowed to spread to the trunk. Michelle Wishhart is a writer based in Portland, Ore. I have also studied with Debbie Hall of Salix arts and she taught me how to make her lovely Willow Handbags www.
I have also studied how to make framed baskets and random weaved baskets with Anne Mette Hjornholm from Denmark www. Sculptural basketry with Lisa Bech www. Today you will find me merrily weaving in my workshop and enjoying the opportunity to run my own willow weaving business. I work to commission as well as selling stock on my website and also hire sculptures to the public as well as the many other things a willow weaver does from running courses in sculpture and basketry to working in schools and giving talks to groups.
My interest in historical basketry is still there and when I get time I like to practice some of the skills being lost around the world as plastic has quickly become the materiel of choice. I enjoy making and love every sculpture and basket that leaves my workshop, I hope to continue on my willow journey and make bigger and better sculptures and baskets in the future.
