Tree Tuesday: Weeping Willow
Tree Tuesday: Weeping Willow
I saw this beautiful Weeping Willow on the banks of the Vaalriver in the North West Province of South Africa. It really is a beautiful green tree.
Below you can see the leaves from up close, it was a rainy day, hence the raindrops on the leaves.
The bark is very rough and course as you can see on the photo below
Below I slipped in a photo of the river, you can see the tree on the edge.

I took these photos with my iPhone, on the banks of the Vaal River, in the North West Province of South Africa.
I hope you enjoyed the photos as much as I did taking it.
Before aspirin was developed. Weeping willow bark extract was used as a natural form of pain relief. Guess you could call it the natural aspirin. 😊 Nice photos!

There is a special place in the relief of neck and back aches resulting from joint inflammation. In different studies conducted in this respect, great success has been achieved in alleviating aches in the hip and knee region.
Thank you yo for the comment, is the Weeping Willow used for the relief of these pains?
Yes use as tea in my country.The most commonly used part of the willo tree(SÖĞÜT AĞACI) is the branch bark, leaves and roots are dried and boiled in water. Dried willow bark or tea prepared by scalding leaves can be used or externally used against skin diseases such as eczema. Söğüt is also the main ingredient of aspirin.
