    Hi

    We bought some ossier willow cuttings last year, which took and did grow very well.

    The only problem is, that they grew more upwards and did not grew enough branches to make them denser like a “bush “style.

    So my question is, do you cut them back now it is winter, or how do you make them grow more branches and not continue just upwards?

    We need them to be about 6 ft and bushy but they are now about 8 ft.

    Thanks

    Top them off at about five feet tall. They are only one year old after all.
