Who is Willow Blue Australia?Willow Blue Australia is a small family business who is proud to produce a totally Australian grown English Willow (Salix alba var. caerulea) and support the Willow Blue accredited cricket bat makers under sustainable renewable and socio-economic Willow Blue cricket forestry principles.
Is it really English Willow given it's grown in Australia? Yes, the timber is the real cricket bat willow. The timber is produced from the resilient lasting qualities of the English Willow rootstock, which were sent out to Australia by A.C. MacLaren, England's Captain 1902, which have been retained and are growing on sites chosen by him when he honeymooned in Healesville Victoria during the Australia v England Test series of 1895. |
