Tree I.D.

mdw84 · July 2013

Evening all,

could anyone help with the identification of the following tree?

It is a weeping variety, is not broad leafed and doesn't have any noticable flowers. The weeping branches are also slightly wavey branches

Thank you in advance

Thanks Sara, sorry about the picture it is my sisters garden, I've asked her to take a picture of the trunk and a close up of the leaves and send them to me so I can add to the post.

The leaves are too narrow to be a twisted hazel, to be perfectly honest I have never seen another tree like this

Hi, sounds like a twisted willow to me, see links below:

Sorry, this one is in French, but pictures should be clear

Hi, that was my thought too Sue - but a clearer photograph would help

Thank you all, it is definitely a twisted willow. I must now get her to get it out as it only about 3.5 metres away from the house
