What is Diamond Willow?
1.
This refers to willow which has been deformed while growing. At spots where branches begin to grow, the wood grows "away from" the new branch, causing a depression in the shape of the "diamond" on a deck of playing cards. The wood is white and the diamonds red so they make the most beautiful hiking sticks, walking sticks and canes in the world. I call it "Pure Art by Mom Nature."
Diamond Willow grows, typically, in wet areas where the mosquitos are the worst. In Northern Canada, it seems, are the best ones.
