Please can someone tell me is this some sort of Eucalyptus? Or a Willow?

 

Thank you.

👍Hundreds or more hybrids so sometimes just guesswork. Grown a few from seed and sometimes offspring nothing like the mother...

Same with Goat/Grey ...

Thanks all. I found Salix alba elaegnos, narrow leaved rosemary willow, which has similar coloured / shaped leaves, but not sure about the shape of the actual tree. I thought those spiked leaf edges would give it away, but if there are lots of similar hybrids, perhaps not.

Well spotted- i never noticed the edges.

I was just about to talk about this. Good thing I noticed your message.  Good rosemary. Take care of that tree, my friend. It's a good start...
