The Willow

Willows are very common trees around the world. Some hybrid species are sometimes called ‘weeping willows’. The long branches make it easily identifiable. “Long and narrow with fine-toothed edges. Each green leaf is attached to a drooping twig, though it appears to be joined to its neighbor. The leaves turn yellow in the fall and some can grow up to eight inches long.”

I enjoy watching the weeping willow when it is windy outside because it looks like the branches are dancing in the wind.

Did you know that they can extract salicylic acid to make aspirin from willow trees?
