     Another thought regarding tree in pics. 1& 2: are there any thorns / spines on the branches?

    Tony. ...Botanic Tone, I found your suggestion of Salix for 1. and 2. very interesting. I thought looking at the pics that the leaves were pinnate. I can think of no pinnate Salix.

     Hello Silver Surfer,

    The general form / growth of the tree led me to suppose Salix may be a possible. The second photo has not detail enough to comment on whether we see individual leaves (each with a bud) or,  leaflets and so probably pinnate leaves.

    More info. on catkins / flowers would be very helpful here, when tree flowers, what colour flowers, if scented?

    Well,  I don't want to bore the less Botanic readers.

     Keep posting, Tony.

    little nibbling bunny, at last I believe I can give you an id. for your mystery tree/shrub. Your pics were really excellent and enabled me to zoom in for a close look.

    It looks like Caragana arborescens Lorbergii

    The leaves are pinnate and it has pea like flowers.
