Tree ID - growing in NY
Hi all! I see this tree sometimes when I go for a walk and there's something about it that makes me really like it. It's growing in Z5 CNY. We've had some serious wind storms recently and there were many small branches down, so I picked up a couple to stick in water. I'm assuming they'll sprout and help with an ID. I find the texture interesting... the bark and branches are silky smooth and supple near the ends, but a little further back on the branches and the bark is peeling. Photos I got:
I like the "curly" branches!
Ignore the green stuff in the foreground -- this was my view of the tree trunk and the bark without seeming like a creep going into someone else's yard to photograph their tree. lol!
Here are the end portions of a small branch that was down. Can anyone identify the tree from these photos?

21 days agoFloral, I’m not sure about that, only because I grow a curly willow and coppice it every year. When it’s growing, mine looks very much like the one shown here Corkscrew willow. It doesn‘t look or feel like the tree in question and I’m very sensitive to those textures because I grow and weave basketry willows. This wreath is dried but it’s my curly willow overwrapping my Green Dicks willow. Could the tree be the same thing and have such a different color and texture?

21 days agolast modified: 21 days agoI haven't cut my curly willow yet and I just did my best to get a photo near the ends of the branches to compare with the tree branch photos. This is very different in texture and color when compared to the tree branches. The tree branches are more brittle and break easily in places.
