| | | Tree id anyone?
Hi ya'll!
Went for a wander in some local(ish) woods a few months back and saw this small tree/large shrub. Just couldn't think what it was. (It's probably really obvious, but I feel I'm having a 'senior moment' and just can't recall what it might be!)
Cheers

It does look a lot like Almond-Leaved Willow, the triandra one.

Thanks Colin!
Now you've said that, the flowers do look a tad Willow-like.
You boff!  |

(Then again, I've not come across the species before - maybe a small tree can still be mature?)

Yes of course. S. triandra is really a fen or marshland species it is also later flowering |

It is Common Sallow, Salix cinerea subsp. oleifolia.
Salix triandra has glossy leaves that are much narrower, very conspicuous stipules at the base of the leaf, and much narrower, upright catkins. It is really quite rare.
