The Welsh Maypole custom is called codi’r fedwen, raising the birch (south) or y gangen haf, the summer branch (north). In the South, the Maypole, is always of birch and painted different colors. The leader of the dance would place his ribbons around the pole, followed by the other participants until the pole was covered in ribbons. Then it was raised and the dance began. This custom differs very little from those of England except that the pole was always birch and may have been smaller.
