Depends on what you grow. Salix - a type of willow is planted for energy in Sweden.

Willow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Energy: Willow is grown for biomass or biofuel, in energy forestry systems, as a consequence of its high energy in-energy out ratio, large carbon mitigation potential and fast growth.^[12] Large scale projects to support willow as an energy crop are already at commercial scale in Sweden,^[13] and in other countries, others are being developed through initiatives such as the Willow Biomass Project in the US and the Energy Coppice Project in the UK.^[14] Willow may also be grown to produce Charcoal.

But I should add that I am not up to speed on the Salix-debate.

Salicylate Toxicity

Salicylates are ubiquitous agents found in hundreds of over-the-counter (OTC) medications and in numerous prescription drugs, making salicylate toxicity an important cause of morbidity and mortality

Re: Methanol (none / 0)

Indeed, and the term does indeed come from willows - the active ingredient in willow bark is salicylic acid and was named for salix, the latin word for willow. (acetylsalicylic acid is asprin)
