Any ideas?

[Johnmac]

Evening all. I've got access to a piece of land that's covered with these trees, all alive and standing of all shapes and sizes. Thinking of chopping a few of the bigger ones down for milling or maybe for firewood, but want to know the species first before I put in the effort!

 

 

 

Sorry if this one is obvious, but my tree ID skills only extend to Ash, Oak, Alder, Sycamore and Willow at present as that's what mostly grows around my place!

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Salix caprea - Goat willow

Thanks Gary.

 

I suppose that'll explain why they are everywhere, assuming they grow and spread as readily as 'regular' Willow.

 

Does this mean (like 'regular' Willow) that it's not much use as firewood or for milling?
