What does "el sauz" mean

Question

I need to give a presentation on a haiku called "El Sauz" y estoy un poco confundida. Here's the haiku:

Tierno saúz casi oro, casi ámbar, casi luz...

i'm thinking it might have something to do with the sun? all it says in this dicitionary is suce (botany).

• sauz es una planta mediterránea que también se llama "árbol casto", o "pimiento de los monjes"..... - francho Nov 12, 2009

sauz.is willow or willow like tree i.e. in mexico usually means sambucus....most towns have a cornwer or barrioo called el sauce...in this context it certainly means willow as in' sauce llorona'....think its arabic root word.
