Willow

Willow is a deciduous tree found mainly in the Northern Hemisphere.

The tree is known for its abundant watery bark sap that is heavily charged with salicylic acid. Its roots spread extensively and are very aggressive in seeking out moisture. For this reason, they have become a problem as the roots are well known for clogging drains.

A small number of this species were widely planted in Australia for erosion-control measures along watercourses. They are now regarded as an invasive species and many catchment management authorities are removing and replacing them with native trees.

Its leaves and bark have been mentioned in ancient texts from Assyria, Sumer and Egypt as a remedy for aches and fever.

Delhi Is Gasping Again, And This Time, Even the Clouds Refused to Help

Delhi is choking again. AQI levels have slipped into the ‘severe’ zone, cloud seeding failed, and emergency measures barely make a dent. Because the city doesn’t need one-off fixes, it needs long-term healing. Trees remain the simplest, most effective answer. They absorb carbon, trap dust, cool the air, and act as natural lungs. If Delhi wants cleaner winters, it needs more green cover, not just temporary interventions. Clouds may not cooperate, but trees always will.
