Please help in deciding the correct identity of this plant a small tree photographed from Dachigam, Kashmir.
Yes, it is Salix acmophylla Boiss.
Thanks a lot … Salix and Populus are two genera with which I have been out of touch for nearly 35 years when I did not visit Kashmir and seem to have forgotten most species. I have been visiting Kashmir every year since 2010 but unfortunately only in Summer months when none is in flowering condition. I will plan March-April visit in near future to get them in flowering to get back a grip on the species.
Awesome idea Sir. April-May would be fruitful for getting both flowering and fruiting. Please take numerous photographs of Salix and Populus. Kashmir is really heaven for the Salix lovers.

kindly identify the Salix species from Kashmir
Close up and catkins can help, but looks like S. acmophylla.
