Willow from QUARANTUNE by Ekinox

Willow trees are easily identified by their long drooping branches covered in oval elongated leaves. The leafy woody plants in the willow family are deciduous and can be low-growing shrubs or medium-sized trees.

There are about 400 species of willow that belong to the genus Salix. Willows can be large weeping trees, dwarf trees, or low-growing creeping shrubby plants.

One of the interesting features of willow tree leaves is their color. Willow leaves can be greenish-yellow, bluish-green or have red blushing.

Wood from willow trees tends to be soft and flexible and the branches are often used for making wicker baskets.

Tree identification: Willow leaves are simple and elongated with serrated edges. Willows are usually last to drop their leaves in fall.

I wanted to translate into music my memories of weeping willows, whether during our childhood or a bit later.
