![]() | On 7 September 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Willow tree. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
Could this article benefit from me explaining how to extract and consume salicin? It will be difficult to find references for everything, although I do have access to a research library and probably could. Basically I would include a simple technique to extract the inner root bark with a knife or some such tool, how to heat it with water for consumption and what a recommended human dose would be.

Thanks, but no, I don't think we could do that, interesting though that would be. I don't think Wikipedia gets into that kind of thing.

One picture caption reads "Woodbine caused by Honeysuckle on a Willow." Woodbine is honeysuckle, or vice versa - not something caused by it. I'm not sure if there's a word for the twisted shape of the willow, but it's not "woodbine". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.211.223 ( talk) 23:20, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
I suspect that the willow in question is probably a Contorted Willow which naturally has a twisting nature. 82.34.123.171 ( talk) 10:14, 14 May 2017 (UTC)

The "culture" section lists Harry Potter's Whomping Willow but not Tolkein's Old Man Willow? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8804:6500:6A5:D9F8:1FA6:14A4:AA15 ( talk) 05:25, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: not moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky ( talk) 04:24, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
– I do not lightly propose to move a significant natural history topic, but there are many topics by this name, including some that get more traffic. I do not think that "Willow" alone is a term with a primary topic. BD2412 T 03:00, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
