This is something that has self seeded in a pot - any ideas what it might be?

    Goat willow?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    What are we meant to be looking at?  It all looks the same to me, apart from the ivy in the background.

    Hi lemon22. I looks like a Goat Willow - Salix caprea.

    Thanks all, no willows in the immediate area so hadn’t considered that but it seems the seeds can blow in from quite far away!

    There are none in my area either, but the borders are full of them, they grow overnight and are like an iceberg,  more below ground than above.
