Dedalu atau Gandarusa (bahasa Inggris: willow) adalah sekelompok pohon atau semak yang meskipun berkeluarga memiliki ukuran yang berbeda-beda dengan kebiasaan pertumbuhan yang berbeda-beda pula, namun memiliki kesamaan di bidang-bidang lainnya. Di dalam genus ini terdapat sekitar 350 spesies yang bisa ditemukan di bumi ini, biasanya jenis ini mudah ditemukan di kawasan Bumi Belahan Utara, di tanah yang lembap dan udara yang sejuk. Dedalu mudah membastar, dan telah banyak ditemukan hasil-hasil bastarannya, baik yang terjadi secara alami maupun buatan. Dedalu, Gandarusa, Willows, sallows, dan osiers membentuk genus Salix, sekitar 400 spesies [2] pohon gugur dan semak-semak, ditemukan terutama pada tanah lembap di daerah beriklim dingin dan belahan bumi utara. Sebagian besar spesies dikenal sebagai willow, tetapi beberapa spesies berdaun sempit-semak disebut osier, dan beberapa spesies berdaun lebih luas disebut sebagai pucat (dari sealh Inggris Kuno, berhubungan dengan kata Salix willow Latin). Beberapa pohon-pohon gandarusa (terutama spesies Arktik dan pegunungan) yang rendah atau merayap tumbuh semak-semak, misalnya, kurcaci willow (Salix herbacea) jarang melebihi 6 cm (2 inci) tin

Most species are known as willow, but some narrow-leaved shrub species are called osier, and some broader-leaved species are referred to as sallow (from Old English sealh, related to the Latin word salix, willow).
