Willow trees spawn in many biomes, most often near rivers and lakes. They are rather big and covered by vines like jungle trees.
Spawning[]
Willow trees need the close proximity of significant water bodies, rich soil and a temperate climate. As these can be found in many biomes across Middle-earth, the willow is a very familiar sight. A full list of biomes temperate and wet enough to support willows is presented below.

Appearance[]
Willow trees are large, many branched trees. Their branches are usually wide and low to the ground, and take up a lot of horizontal space. However, their trunk is usually at least 2 blocks wide at the base. The trees have been known to get up to 16 meters tall, but can be as short as 10 (33-53 feet). The leaves are light green in colour. Willow trees spawn draped in their own kind of vine, the willow vine.
Uses[]
Just like any tree, the leaves of the willow tree can be broken by hand to possibly yield a willow sapling, and with shears to yield the leaf block and a chance of sapling. The vines give nothing when broken with a fist, and drop themselves once broken with shears. The wood can be broken with any axe or a fist, and then crafted into planks or burned into charcoal. The planks can then be crafted into willow stairs, slabs, or fences.
