willows have pretty red stems, glossy foliage

most interesting part is their roots form a vast network, like the aspen do and the canada thistles, and ansy, too,

three plants that grow where there is good sub irrigation, where the summer does not dry things out, too bad that climate change makes the droughts earlier, and longer but at least these large organisms can pick the best corners of their network to grow new shoots.

We had good luck seeing new shoots in several places once we started to irrigate in the dry season.
