[MPWG] sustainability problems- certified organic wild crop witch hazel

[Penny's Pine Nuts]

We have run into a sustainability issues with our certified organic wild 
crop witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana).  Our protocol is 25 % of any one 
plant or group.  The result is that other species like Salix interior and 
other willows benefit from the pruning back of the witch hazel.

To insure sustainability, I need to have a commercial benefit for harvesting 
the willow species in the same habitat. White willow is not abundant.



Does anyone have ideas?



Thank you,
