Is the Willow Tree indigenous to South Africa?
Salix mucronata is semi-deciduous and fast growing. It is the only indigenous willow tree in South Africa and grows in the water courses in the Eastern and Western Cape.
When grouped together, a stand of Cape willow trees resembles the ubiquitous non indigenous willow tree.
Is aspirin still made from willow bark?
Many believe that willow is the natural source of aspirin. However, willow species contain only a low quantity of the prodrug salicin which is metabolized during absorption into various salicylate derivatives.
If calculated as salicylic acid, the daily salicin dose is insufficient to produce analgesia.
How do you get willow bark?
If you have harvested the 1-year-old willow rods for basketry, you can simply start at the base of the cut edge and peel it upwards toward the tip.
The bark will peel off in strips. You can recognize Salix alba varieties by their brightly coloured bark in early spring — usually yellow, orange, or flaming red.
Is Willow bark the same as white willow bark?
Willow bark is the bark from several varieties of the willow tree, including white willow or European willow, black willow or pussy willow, crack willow, purple willow, and others. The bark is used to make medicine.
