Willow is a flood plain species of tree, which means it's environment is usually quite wet or within a water source.
The reason for this is because the main method of seed dispersion for willow trees is water.
The seeds fall into the water, then the water flow naturally carries the seed a little further away until it is deposited along a bank somewhere. Here it will either be blown further by the wind or grow right there.
They can also be dispersed by animals after being accidentally latched onto their fur or picked up then dropped accidentally by a hungry bird. But that is not the main method.
So, to answer your question, the main method would be water. Wind is a close second method.
Not primarily.

Ash tree seeds are dispersed by the wind
They are carried away by wind.
wind The wind blows the seeds off the tree. The seeds are 'winged' and float/spin down to the ground.

Like a dandelion or a milkweed plant, the seeds of the kapok plant are dispersed by the wind. The fluffy masses of seed used to be used to stuff life jackets.
