Does anyone know what this tree is please?

[Jogey]

Hi All,

 

I have recently bought a house and my neighbour has a tree just immediately behind the fence of my back garden and overhanging my garden.

I have attached pictures of the tree and a picture of a branch cutting which overung my garden. 

Could anyone tell me what this tree is please? It is about 10 meters from the back of my house, but much closer to the separate garage you can see in the picture.

Could the tree roots cause damage to my house or garage or do I not need to be concerned about it?

 

Thank you.

Might have been worth asking these questions before buying the house maybe?…

The leaves will work wonders for hiding that green carpet you have there.

It looks like a form of Willow which is doing a great job of screening the view of those ugly new build houses.

As it is very small, and if kept in check, It won’t be doing any damage to your garage, drains, house or green carpet for a good few years yet.
