    The leaves on S.caprea are not as long as these. It is more like Salix cinerea as far as the leaf is concerned, but that is a shrub rather than a tree.

    I was mainly going by the winter resting buds.

    Looks very much like willow to me, possibly a natural hybrid, although as I say they vary a bit from tree to tree, I find.

    I agree that it is some kind of Salix, but as you say, they do vary quite a lot.
