REVIEW:

For those of you who have crops that come off late in the autumn and want to follow them with wheat Willow is the answer!
It is winter hardy enough to be planted in a conventional winter wheat sowing time but would need a robust PGR program but works best when late autumn planted, also is the weather goes against you then you can put it in, in at the conventional spring wheat time and not have the worry of vernalisation that you would with a true winter wheat.
I have had Willow yield 10tn per ha when planted in the late autumn position!
