Indians used the Red willow around the Great Lakes and the bark they are talking about is the inner bark ,you remove the outer and you will see an inner bark connected to the tree or branch we scraped that off and used it for many things including smoking.:smoke I have no idea what the outer bark is or was used for as we only collected the inner bark of the Willow tree. Hope that helps some...ndn;):hii pm'd guano about something similar the other day. since pussy willow is used for rooting horomone i asked him if a tea made from the branches of the willow would possibly help in the root growth of a matured plant. i plan to do a expierment run and post any info i gain from it.
it would be awsome if you did the same as it would prove to be more controlled with 2 expierments done.
