Hi!
I am new here and looking forward to getting some help and advice from you all (and offering any if I know!).
I have this tree in my garden which I chopped back year before last as it was cutting out a lot of light - the result has been fabulous - and seen in this picture.
I had a 'Google' and came up with Willow as the tree - but does anyone know if this is true and even what variety it is please?
Thank you all in advance!
(Excuse the messy garden - it's a work in progress!)

Goat?
Salix caprea is a common one to turn up in gardens
In the sticks near Peterborough
Yes, I'd say salix caprea (goat willow). I think it is the one that most people call "pussy willow" because of its soft grey catkins. You can snip a few twigs off and put them in a vase with daffodils for classic spring decoration!
Thank you so much - mystery solved
