Thanks for the super fast reply ! Doesn’t goat willow have catkins this time of year ? I only ask because ive been identifying another type of tree as goat willow over the past month, it has catkins with feathery hairs and black tips

i dont mean to insult by the way, just trying to learn

Some do have catkins not paided much attention to them , maybes this ones  having a yr off?

 

Wonder if the other tree you ID'd was really a willow got a picture?

 

Many other trees also have catkins.

I dont annoyingly … theres a very good chance that im getting confused and this tree is indeed the same as the other goat Willows that I've identified .. I will need to go and have a look at some point … have you got any clear indicator that you saw and was like .. “yep … goat willow” 

[Stere]

Because it looks like one 🙂

 

The bark and leaves shape /grown habit.

Its the same for trees can also tell/guess most times  at a distance speciees  ID sometimes just from tree outlines growth habit location colour of foilage or bark in winter etc.

The others could be Grey Willow or Grey/Goat hybrid . very slight differences .

Yeah willows hybridize so much all seem to  look slightly different

 

Some goat willow have smaller leaves.
