willow branch

Weeping tree limb

A willow branch is a flexible shoot cut from a willow tree, prized for its pliability and used in basketry, wicker furniture, and traditional crafts.

Willow branches root easily in water, making them popular for propagation.

In religious contexts, willow branches appear in Palm Sunday observances and Jewish Sukkot celebrations.
