In the Winter Garden at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Hyde Hall, Essex, the Salix alba var. vitellina 'Britzensis' (scarlet willow, coral bark willow) are stooled (coppiced) to a ‘leg’ (short trunk) to encourage the brightly coloured stems. This season’s growth has been tied into these swirling shapes as part of the winter display and the growth will be cut off in the early spring prior to the leaves emerging.
