How wrong I was. The dry winter followed by the parched spring certainly put me in my place as a failed prophet.<\/p>\n<p>There is still hope and much to see. The replacement willows, Salix alba var. caerulia are noted for their rapid growth and will soon provide the canopy we have come to appreciate. Remember they are a crop and where would cricketers be without good young cricket-bat willows to supply them with their bats. A Norfolk surgeon, James Crowe, found the original female plant in Eriswell, Suffolk. The year was 1803. From then on, the East Anglia plantations of cricket bat willow began their continuing history. Dare I say they took root? As this willow is propagated vegetatively, the single one is still with us in the multitude of its clones.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Author :: Rex Hancy<\/span><\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-popout fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-after dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #328de3; color: #ffffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/aviationmuseum.site\/index.php\/2017\/08\/23\/update-adair-walk\/\">For further Adair Walk info see<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-popout fasc-rounded-medium fasc-ico-before dashicons-arrow-right-alt fasc-style-bold\" style=\"background-color: #328de3; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/aviationmuseum.site\/index.php\/2017\/11\/10\/marble-galls\/\">Next Rex Hancy Article<\/a><\/p>\n<input class=\"fooboxshare_post_id\" type=\"hidden\" value=\"687\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nature along the Adair Walk &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..
