Willow trees require level 30 Woodcutting to chop down. They usually give more than one set of willow logs before being cut down. These trees are often used for high level woodcutters who want experience as they give a good amount relative to the time taken. Chopping these trees down is arguably the best woodcutting experience for free players.
Though there was once a very high demand for willow logs, this has declined drastically due to the amount of people cutting them. Along with the high quantities of people cutting them, the price also lowered. Therefore people cut oaks to make money, and cut willows to raise experience points. It is common to find large quantities of woodcutters on a willow tree in a free-to-play world. They are also popular because they are found in close proximity to banks and are in clusters.
Naturally, willow trees are found near rivers, as they are in real life.
Willows also have the highest chance of giving bird's nests, which can be crushed to make crushed bird nests, worth 2000 GP. This is known as an excellent way to make money fast. The nests may also contain a seed, such as the Yew Seed, worth 82,000 coins.

[edit] Farming
A willow tree can be grown from a willow seed using the Farming skill in any of the tree patches located around RuneScape. (It will take around four hours to be fully grown.) To do so requires level 30 Farming, a trowel & a willow tree sapling. When planted it earns the player 25 experience points, as well as another 1,456.3 experience points for checking the fully grown tree's health. To guarantee the growth, a payment of one basket of apples is required.
Once fully grown, use secateurs on the tree to cut willow branches. The tree may be cut down as usual granting Woodcutting experience points. Using a spade on the cut tree roots will give the player willow roots and make the tree patch available for planting a new tree.

A willow tree can be planted in the tree hotspot of the Garden in a player-owned house. It requires level 30 Construction, a bagged willow tree, and a watering can to plant. When planted, it earns the player 100 experience for both Construction and Farming. However, as it is in the Garden, it cannot be cut down.
