Anyone know what this tree is? Hasn't produced any fruits, flowers or seedheads that are noticable.

    Maybe Goat Willow (Salix caprea)??

    That's my thought too ... Salix caprea.

    The leaves look the same, but there have been no catkins.

    It's a weed willow, sown by birds or wind.  No striking catkins and no other virtues either.  Pull or dig it up and plant something interesting.

    It’s probably a female so the catkins will have been greenish-grey and pretty inconspicuous. It’s only the males that have the attractive white fluffy pollen-laden catkins.
