Wandered past this this morning. The area is usually pretty wet and there are willows around. I don't know why I find identifying trees so hard, i would have thought a flower like that would have made it easy
Another Tree ID request

If you pick a wand from it for peeling, the bark will taste sweetish compared to other willows. Probably why the goats like it

Those are mature female Salix sp. (willow) flower clusters. Local people = local identification of species.
Yep. Or otherwise known as Great Sallow or just Sallow. The Catkins are known as Pussies, so whole tree is also known as Pussie Sallow.
About the only willow that will make a serviceable bow. Should be little diamond patterns in the bark.
