THE WILLOW TREE and its many uses

The willow is found virtually world-wide, typically in riparian areas. The wood is soft and is a traditional craft wood for bows, fire-making kits, baskets, etc. The bark has long been used, as an infusion, as a pain-killer -- in fact, aspirin originally comes from willow bark.
