The willow is the same genetically. Just grown in a different area [Kashmir].

EWNI is a genius marketing ploy for the dodgy ebay sellers! You get to see a huge part saying
Genuine English Willow Nurtured in India

I know a player at my club fell for this.

Certain grapes in France make Champagne, grow them in Scunthorpe and they make anti freeze rather than Champagne nurtured in England......

Mike, when they say "English Willow grown in the UK nurtured in India" is this mean the clefts are EW grown in england then shipped elsewhere (india) where they are stored until ready to be processed into bats or just a confusing mis statement?
