Can you help ID this sapling?

Jimmerang · April 2019

I'm pretty noob, but keen. I tried a tree id app and got black cherry, some kind of bay willow and walnut. Think the latter is most likely, but it's grown out of another potted plant and it's going quick and would like to know if it's something I want to try and move or just get rid. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

I can rule out Walnut and Cherry

Self sown trees almost always seem to be goat willow (Salix caprea) and I think that one is no exception. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/a-z-of-uk-native-trees/goat-willow/

Best to get rid of it before it gets any bigger.
