Need black and sandbar willow cuttings ASAP. Good season for cutting is running out!

Looking to implement a willow spiling to stop erosion at the edge of a field that butts up to the pomme de terre river. It's going to take a lot of live stakes, >3' in length, something like over 500. I'm on a budget here, anyone familiar with where to forage black or sandbar willow varieties? Please Contact See Below.

The technique is like building a waddle structure, but with live willow cuttings, backing the bank side with soil to create a physical barrier that stops erosion long enough for the willow to root and bind.

If you have any on your property you'd be willing to let me harvest I'd like to work something out with you please contact at 417-551-2202
