Re: Mystery tree - does anyone know the name?

Please Miss, I think I do.

I say it's a Salix Flamingo Willow. I don't know the Latin name.
I've got 2 myself, and have just successfully taken 4 cuttings from them.

This time of year they are very pretty because the new leaves at the tips of each branch go pink and cream for a while, till they revert back to green again.

In this picture (not my own), they are not very pink yet, but you will see what I mean I think.

Thank you Bratti, you're very kind.

Had I better wait till Annie confirm it, or shall I just open it anyway?

Yay! Thanks Mups! That's brilliant that is exactly the way it looks in real life. I didn't see any at the garden centre today so had no idea of the name. Yes there is a hint of pink in a certain light.

Now you have to tell me how to take a cutting from a neighbour without being spotted
