Salix pierotii, the Korean willow, is a species of willow native to northeast China, far eastern Russia, the Korean peninsula and Japan.{{cite web |url=http://powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:778493-1 |title=Salix pierotii Miq. |author= |date=2017 |website=Plants of the World Online |publisher=Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew |access-date=8 September 2020 }} They are shrubs or trees reaching 8{{nbsp}}m. Because their twisted wood is not good for timber or making tools, in Japan Salix pierotii trees are used to demarcate property lines between farms.{{cite journal |doi=10.1186/s13002-019-0301-8 |title=Tracing chronological shifts in farmland demarcation trees in southwestern Japan: Implications from species distribution patterns, folk nomenclature, and multiple usage |year=2019 |last1=Tokuoka |first1=Yoshinori |last2=Yamasaki |first2=Fukuhiro |last3=Kimura |first3=Kenichiro |last4=Hashigoe |first4=Kiyokazu |last5=Oka |first5=Mitsunori |journal=Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine |volume=15 |pmid=31029161 |s2cid=139104568 |doi-access=free |pmc=6487015 }}
