Muffy,
I'm not sure if it's an old wives tale or reality, but I've always been told that Diamond willow grows where there is enough really cold weather to freeze/snap off sucker growth to a branch--thus the diamonds are formed.

Whatever causes it, it sure is a cool way to do a walking stick.

Hey Dave,
You got that right....I'm afraid there are no diamonds (in the rough or otherwise) to be found in our government....so sad.
