Turning English willow trees into cricket bats

Cricket bats are manufactured mainly from English willow, a timber that grows in areas throughout Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk in the United Kingdom. All trees are individually planted by hand and is tended by the grower, to ensure that each tree will be suitable for bat making. To protect the industry, countryside and the species, two new willow trees are planted for each tree that is felled.
