willow leaf

Weeping tree's blade

A willow leaf is the narrow, elongated leaf characteristic of willow trees—typically lance-shaped with a pointed tip and fine-toothed edges.

The term appears in compound forms describing things with similar shapes: willow-leaf gladius, willow-leaf arrowhead.

In fishing, a willow leaf blade is a type of spinner blade prized for its slim profile and tight wobble.
