Gardening tip
When planting a desert willow, make sure to dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the root itself. This helps the tree establish itself better in the soil.

In the kitchen
The desert willow is not eaten by humans, so it’s best to admire its beauty rather than try to cook with it.
