Post 4 – Willow
Willows are found mainly on moist soils. Well known
for their ‘weeping’ shapes and furry catkins, they
have a watery bark, which is soft and tough. Their
flexible twigs and slender young branches have often
been used for hedging and for sculptures. Their large
roots are remarkable for their toughness, size, and
ability to survive, even when exposed.
