Do you have suitable land available?
Growing English Cricket Bat Willow can be an excellent investment, with proven returns over a 12 to 18-year period. Imagine transforming your land into a thriving cricket bat willow plantation that generates consistent income for decades to come.
By partnering with JS Wright & Sons, you’re not just planting trees; you’re securing a robust financial future.
Tailored planting plans
We will guide you through every step, from site assessments to planting the finest quality young willow sets.
A staggered planting programme creates a rolling programme of felling once trees reach maturity, ensuring a steady income for the grower while maintaining a visually appealing plantation that supports diverse wildlife.
Maintenance and pest control
Regular maintenance is vital for producing high-quality timber and maximising your returns. Depending on the agreed contract, our team will trim side shoots twice yearly, or we can provide guidance if you prefer to maintain your trees yourself.
To further protect your investment, we provide growers with advice and support on preventing wildlife damage such as that caused by deer or squirrels.
