    Hi, I bought these plants a few months ago from a nursery, i got them for very little because i know the owner there and he did not tell me what species they are. I know they are willow. I hope they are anyway, either way its to late now if they are not but if someone could give there opinion it would be great :) The only willow i can think of is Salix caprea... ??

    Thanks for any help :)

    Scourge of all foresters! Sally, goat willow, Salix caprea.
    Great for wildlife but a bloody nuisance and prone to an unsightly rust disease.
