Can anyone tell me the requirements for a suitable basket making
material?
I understand willow is very common but can I use the twigs from other
trees as well?
What about *holly? Dog wood?
Is pussy willow also acceptable?

Any material you can bend/ wrap/ braid/ weave are suitable for basket
making.
Some tree barks are wonderful as well, some as is and some like
Eucaliptus, after some soaking .
You can also use torn rags, etc...
Best of luck
