Description
Willow Trees are Hardy and Highly Adaptable
Willow trees (genus Salix) are a large family of deciduous trees and shrubs. They are also known as sallows with the shrub variety being called osiers in some regions. All trees have high concentrations of salicylic acid in their bark, and they are known for their hardiness and adaptability. The most popular and some of the most well-known types of them are weeping willow trees, the sandbar willow, and the black willow.
Willow Trees are Extremely Popular and Known for their Strength and Stability
Weeping Willow (Salix babylonica)
When most people think of willow trees, they likely think of the tree, which is sometimes referred to as the Babylon willow. The trees are a dramatic, ornamental variety of large tree. They are very fast-growing and can be grown quickly from cuttings. The tree originated in Asia - not Babylon - and was traded along the Silk Road, spreading throughout Europe and eventually the Americas. The name comes from the long pendulous branches and leaves that droop toward the ground and give the tree a sad, "weeping" appearance.
Sandbar Willow Trees (Salix exigua)
The sandbar willow is a medium-sized clumping, shrub variety of willow, sometimes called the narrow leaf or coyote willow. Sandbar willow trees are native to North America, unlike weeping trees, and have the most extensive range of all American trees. They are known for growing naturally along riverbanks and other marsh regions from Alaska to Mexico. The leaves of sandbar willow trees are gray-green with distinctive silky white hairs.
Black Willow (Salix nigra)
Black willow trees are another species of willow native to North America - the widest native variety of willow. The black willow has a rich history with its roots and bark being used by Native Americans in traditional medicines to treat an array of ailments. They get their name from the color or their bark, which is dark brown to black. They also feature dark-green leaves that fade to yellow-green in the fall. They are quite hardy, capable of growing in very moist regions, and they are often used to prevent erosion and remove toxins from soil.
