Just wondering that I see that that English willow bats are nurtured in many places around the world like India and was wondering if Kashmir willow was nurtured in England would the piece of willow be any better as our comditions are seen as perfect for English willow ?

I thought both Kashmir and English are the same species of Salix and that the difference in climate was the main factor in the difference between the willows

Kashmir willow is "English willow nurtured in India" so I don't think you'd be able to nurture Kashmir Willow in England, as it would just be English Willow.

Rearly i didn't know that thats what kashmir willow is

Kashmir willow is "English willow nurtured in India" so I don't think you'd be able to nurture Kashmir Willow in England, as it would just be English Willow.

Same thing, willow. Or Salix something to the other.
Just ones English and ones grown in Kashmir.



But even if they were different, why go to the effort to Plant, grow and then harvest an inferior product.
You'd might aswell just grow the good stuff.

Unless your making cheap bats for a mass market in the subcontinent...

Wait, isn't this the Imperial Storm Trooper guy?

With no disrespect intended, it's a bit worrying when a brand owner openly admits they don't know what Kashmir Willow is

Yes, but I think we did also work out that said 'Brand Owner' is only 13/14 years old so you could maybe let home off a bit?!
