Salix Amygdalina, commonly known as almond-leaved willow, is a deciduous tree native to Europe. It is known for its tall stature and narrow leaves that resemble those of an almond tree. The scientific name of the tree is derived from the Latin term 'salix' meaning willow and 'amygdalina' meaning almond. The tree is also referred to as almond-leaved osier, narrow-leaved willow or narrow-leaved osier. These synonyms are used interchangeably to describe the tree's physical characteristics. In ancient times, the bark of the tree was used for medicinal purposes to relieve pain and reduce fever. Today, the tree is used for its timber and ornamental purposes.
