CHRISTCHURCH WILLOWS
Sir-In my early teens one of my delights was a trip by river launch up the Paterson River, a tributary of the Hunter River, New South Wales. Not far from Paterson township a _ stretch of the river was "walled" on both sides by weeping willows, which trailed into the water. We were always told that the original cuttings came from Napoleon’s grave. I was surprised to read the same story about the‘New Zealand willows. There may even be a few more places in the world where cuttings were
planted!
