INTERESTING FACTS
The crack willow is named after the
sound made when its branches and
twigs fall, which they often do.
Because the trees often grow beside
rivers, any twigs that break off are
carried downstream.
This helps the trees propagate
themselves, as the branches take root
easily and may end up some distance
away from where they fell.
MEDICINAL USES
It has medicinal properties for
rheumatism, infectious states, nervous
disorders, flu and colds.
