Species Description
It is probably a hybrid between Goat Willow and Weeping Willow (Salix caprea ssp. caprea and S. x sepulcralis nothovar. chrysocoma). Both trees occur in close proximity to the self-seeded sapling. It shows intermediacy between the two taxa - the undulate-serrate margins (S. caprea) combined with the shallow slightly cuspidate teeth (S. x sepulcralis), the leaf undersides are hairy (not tomentose as in S. caprea and not glabrous or sparsely hairy as in S. x sepulcralis), young stem is brown, slightly glossy and slightly hairy but soon turning glabrous.
Possibly Salix daphnoides.
Either Salix x calodendron, S. x stipularis, S. x holosericea, or S. x fruticosa (Probably latter).
Possibly just. Salix cinerea.
