Black Maul is a supple and versatile willow. The willow isn’t black – it only takes on a black hue when steamed. Black Maul is held in high regard by weavers and is one of the best varieties of willow to use in beginners basketry.
Much of our farmland is used to grow Black Maul. Brown (dry) Black Maul willow requires soaking and mellowing to make it pliable.
