Cricket Bat Hybrid Willows were selected for their rapid growth and wood properties. This tree has frequently been grown in England and other parts of the world where the sport cricket is popular. But since I am not into cricket or the bats used for it, my attention is on the fast growth rate of a few feet per a year and the pyramidal form of this cool, historical tree. I think the Cricket Bat Willow Hybrid is a large tree that is on par with and having similar purposes as the Bigfoot Hybrid Willow and Juggernaut Willow Hybrid. Try all 3 and let me know which one does the best for you!
