Identification of a young tree in the alpine region of southeastern France I have a young tree growing in my backyard (in Grenoble, France), and I was not able to identify it, despite searching with many identifier tools. It's 2 years old now and must be 2 meters high. It has a grey trunk, its leaves grow on brown/red stems that protrude irregularly from the trunk. ![Large view]( The leaves are pointed, gently serrated, covered with a light fuzz, with a distinct lattice of veins. ![View of the leaves]( Could you help me identify it?

The tree grew its first fruits this spring, so that I could definitely identify it: it is a goat willow! This is consistent with its spontaneous sprouting in my yard, as it is a common tree in my region.
