This started growing in my flower bed a few months ago - the leaves have been enjoyed by caterpillars I think - anyone know what it is? Thanks

    It is Salix caprea, aka Goat Willow and is a common weed-tree as the fluffy seeds get blown in by the wind.  Best removed.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
