Can anyone give me a name please for this Salix species. I took a few cuttings today at the local dog park. It grows about 3 metres high and wide and branches just about at ground level. The catkins were almost finished but were about 25mm long, thin and yellowish. It's very pretty especially in a breeze so I hope these will root for me, in water to start with.

Could it be Salix rosmarinifolia, Lesley?
It looks very much like it, anyway.

Zeph - Certainly looks like the ones around here.

Thank you for the confirmation, John!
Lesley, any stem of S. rosmarinifolia dumped in a bucket of water will root in no time, believe me! :)

Thank you both very much. It certainly looks like rosemary, rather a large one. Pity it doesn't have the same scent. :) When I googled, there are a couple of (French) pictures very like mine but some others have a much wider leaf, more like a regular willow.
