    Hello, I am looking for any information you might give me on this Willow tree. It is located in Salem Sound, MA. Thank you, SueL-B

    Answer

    Dear SueLB, good morning. I can't help you from the images provided. You have photographed Salix cinerea or a similar willow. This may be native or non-native (depending on who it is). I would need to see branches (2- to 3-years-old) with the bark removed to see if there are elongated ridges. If not, it would most likely be a native willow. Sorry I can't help further.
