This is Salix alba cv. ‘Tristis’ (commonly known as golden weeping willow).
Due to its weeping nature looks very similar with Salix babylonica. It can be identified through its bright golden yellow twigs
Very beautiful pictures …

Salix alba cv. ‘Tristis’
This is my concluding post for the Salicaceae Fortnight. In human culture most of the major occasions in their lives are associated with nature and especially with plants. Many rituals in our country required plants or their parts.
As you know today is a special day …so I share a related picture of that.
The same plant, the same location but in two different seasons
Thanks … for sharing these very beautiful and special pics….
The plant is elegant in all the seasons…. Attachments (4). 8 posts by 4 authors.

Hopefully all the uploads will be identified with so many experts on Himalayan flora…
Requesting to please provide ID of this short tree captured near Kothi, Manali, HP in October 2014.
Is this some Salix species?
Yes, I agree with you, a Salix sp., but I cannot go further..
catkins in end of winter to early spring might help … so as is I agree with …
…Salix sp.- Planted for soil erosion, as avenue along roadsides and for fuel & fodder as well. Pl. check Salix alba L. as per comparative images at Salix

It is Salix species.
Salix species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) Salix disperma Roxb. ex D.Don ?? Pl. check species available in your area in GBIF and Efloraofindia.
I remember observing similar species from Spiti valley. But not able to have any opinion.
Pl. check Salix alba L. as per comparative images at Salix
Looks matching unless it is introduced in Nepal. No distribution in any sites. Yes … S. alba
