Willow Coffins are made from sustainable and natural material. Willow is a coppice plant which grows extremely quickly. A mature stool can give rise to over 30 rods and a single rod can grow to 8ft tall in one season (May to October). Each stool can last over 30 years. This makes willow not only an extremely sustainable material but also one ideal for weaving. Willow is harvested in the winter months after the leaves have fallen off. These leaves provide the nutrients for the following year’s plants meaning no fertilisers are used.
