I would think so. I've used found driftwood of unknown type for years. That said it might rot. They beauty of drift wood is it already rotted as much as it will years ago.

If those are fresh branches then no I wouldn't suggest it as the wood is going to rot and foul up your tank. If they are driftwood pieces found near or in a body of water then it would be fine.

You could try it. Just visually check for decomposition and check your water parameters. I don't think willow has anything nasty in it but someone with direvt experience could possibly tell you.

If they r store bought then no don't use them,also since willows are a softwood they will rot,true driftwoods r from hardwood trees(oak,elm,mahogany,etc)
