    Yup, looking at those leaves I'd also go with pussy willow.
    Shows how important that seeing as much of the tree as possible is essential. Worth pointing out that willow and poplar are members of the same family, however...

    It's a Pussy Willow on the large side then, right? I've never seen one this big!

    Crikey, mate - you're not making it easy for anyone, are you?
    There's no sense of dimension in those pictures (of the trunk).
    Those leaves don't look like poplar leaves. Poplar leaves would be smoother, shinier, and have a more pronounced 'shoulder' (not sure if that's the word, but I know what I mean).
    Example:
    Black Poplar leaf


    Pussy willow leaf


    The picture of the trunk alone isn't that helpful - could be one of several types of tree. Black Poplar, being one. The habitat suited poplar as well. But that ain't a poplar leaf and it does look like a pussy willow leaf. Pussy willows, if left to their own devices, can grow up 12-13m. You rarely see them that big since they are often used as decorative trees and get pruned to keep them much smaller.

    Tree ID please

    If I make it easy for you, I never know what differentiates any tree from another because I get answers like 'Willow'.

    Google only shows so much! Besides, other people's experiences are much more reliable than a Wikipedia entry!

    Thank you for sharing, Humakt.
