What is ramial chipped wood and how is it made?

Ramial Chipped Wood (RCW), or raméal chipped wood, is a type of fresh, uncomposted woodchip made from the smaller, younger branches of trees. These nutrient-rich parts of the tree contain up to 75% of the minerals, amino acids, proteins, phytohormones and enzymes found in the entire plant. 

At Eco Crops Ltd, we source our RCW from sustainably coppiced willow trees grown by local farmers right here in the UK. Coppicing is a traditional woodland management technique that involves cutting willow crops down to their base every 3-5 years, allowing them to re-sprout and regrow. By doing so, we create a continuous and renewable supply of young, nutrient-dense branches to produce our specialist ramial chipped willow wood.

How is ramial chipped willow wood different from other wood chips?

Eco Crops’ ramial chipped willow wood differs significantly from other types of woodchips on the market. Unlike traditional wood chips which are typically made from larger, woody tree trunks and branches, our RCW is produced exclusively from the fresh, green sections of the willow tree, usually less than 7cm or ¼ inch in diameter. These younger parts of the tree contain more nutrients than bark or trunk wood used in most standard woodchip products, making our ramial chipped wood a higher-quality material compared to bark chips or trunk chips. 

Our ramial chipped willow wood may even contain some organic matter such as green leaves, further enhancing its nutritional profile. On top of this, willow trees are renowned for their exceptional nutrient composition, fast decomposition time, and natural disease-fighting qualities, setting Eco Crops’ ramial chipped willow wood apart from other woodchip products on the market.
