 Crack Willow
Crack willow is a member of the Salicaceae family and is classified as Salix fragilis, or, more strictly, as one of its hybrid clones.
This means that the crack willow along Tasmanian rivers has established due to vegetative reproduction, that is, pieces of tree have broken off due to winds, floods, falling over or fishing poles and established into mature specimens.
A considered approach to willow removal (asthey provide bank protection via a large root mat) and a documented plan of activity is critical, as unconsidered removal has the potential to leave the river banks exposed to erosion.

Willows may form large bushes, prostrate shrubs, trees of medium height with the typical tree outline, and trees with hanging branches; there are all sorts of intermediates.
Willows that form bushes can be cut down to the ground in the spring; they will renew themselves by the growth of new shoots from their bases.
All Willows not raised in their permanent positions should be moved there at the end of the first season.

Among the difficulties of the study of Willows are the facts, that the male and female trees are often dissimilar, that in many species the flowers and the leaves are produced at different times of the year, and that hybrids (i.e.
The Willows differ from the Poplars in having generally narrower leaves, these being for the most part lance-shaped, with a finely-toothed margin, often pale-colored on their under surfaces, and furnished with the two small leaf-like appendages, known as "stipules," at their bases, though these often fall off early.
Willows belong mainly to the arctic and north temperate zones, and the Weeping Willow proper seems to be a native of extra-tropical Asia, from Japan and China to Armenia and the banks of the Euphrates, and of Egypt and North Africa; but pendulous varieties of other species are also known in cultivation.

Willow weaving played a vital role in prehistoric societies and the peat lands of the Somerset Levels and Moors have preserved some of this rare evidence.
Willow was present in the earliest flying machines, used for hot air balloon baskets and woven as the seats of the first aeroplanes.
In prehistory and later willow would have been widely used for coracle fishing and fish traps in the rivers of Somerset and along the coast and in the medieval period large numbers of fish and eels were caught in willow traps and used to pay rents for land.

 Crack Willow
The characteristic shedding of twigs and branches during floods and high winds and the ability of these to put down roots means that all Tasmanian waterways are at risk of infestation or reinfestation while even one crack willow exists upsteam.
Crack willows can be distinguished from others by the upright nature of the twigs, the characteristic brittleness of the branches and twigs, the redness of rootlets growing in the water, the emergence of leaves weeks later than other willows and the cracking sound made as twigs are broken off.
Before controlling willows along a stream or river bank, suitable replacement species need to be established to stop erosion of the water course banks.

White willow bark should not be taken with aspirin or NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen; in combination, the herb and these drugs increase the chance of side effects such as stomach bleeding.
Avoid white willow bark, which can irritate the stomach, if you are sensitive to aspirin, or if you have an ulcer or other gastrointestinal disorder.
Although white willow bark is unlikely to cause the rare but potentially fatal condition called Reye's syndrome in such cases--it is metabolized differently than aspirin--the similarity to aspirin is close enough to warrant caution.

The stump of the famous 200-year-old willow tree that grew next to Helsinki's functionalist Lasipalatsi and which was struck down by a freak winter storm in December of last year has been pronounced dead by experts.
The old tree, which was known as a crack willow (although the Environment Committee suggests the name was not 100% accurate for this particular type of hybrid), has been protected by law since 1924.
Last winter's rude blasting of the tree genuinely upset the Helsinki residents, who had grown to love the proud old willow, which many passed on a daily basis on their way to and from the neighbouring bus station.
