Hi.

What's the name of this tree?

It is very tall with very long bendy branches.

Cheers.

It's a willow (salix) but I don't know which particular type I'm afraid.

If you are interested in willows there is a very good book 'Willows the genus salix' by Christopher Newsholme published in 1992 in hardback (my paperback is 2002). Plant descriptions are very accurate. Its out of print but a few copies are available in the link that are not too costly.

Its very vigorous and needs good housekeeping. Thrives in any place damp, the wetter and damper the better.
