| Willow Bowl, A small bow 4 3/4 inches diameter x 4 1/4 inches high Willows, sallows, and osiers form the genus Salix, form around 400 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, found primarily on moist soils in cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species are known as willow, but some shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are called sallow. Willows are very cross fertile, and numerous hybrids occur, both naturally and in cultivation. A well known example is the weeping willow (Salix × sepulcralis), a widely planted ornamental tree, which is a hybrid of a Chinese species, the Peking willow, and a European species, the white willow. This small bowl is cut from a limb section of a large tree that stood in a neighbor's yard until the tree died due to the action of carpenter ants that ate out the heart of the tree for about 3 feet up the trunk. I helped the neighbor cut up and clear the tree from his yard in exchange for a number of large pieces of wood. Item Nr: 10-767 $30.00 |
