Hi guys,

Can anyone identify this tree? It has got a smooth grey bark and little furry bits buds at the ends of the branches.

Thanks
Craigh

    One of the willows.
    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

    my guess is salix caprea

    Devon.

    Do they grow big? It's kind of in an awkward place and I might want to move it at some point. But it depends how big it will grow?

    if it's S.caprea, they're basically big weeds. they get everywhere. I'd remove it whilst you have the chance

    Well to be honest it was already in the garden when I bought the house and it is planted right in the middle of mine and the neighbours garden. So if I ever want to put up a fence it's going to be difficult so I think I'm going to take it out. I would rather plant a tree where I want it to be :)
