  Hey!
  
  Is anyone confident that this is a willow tree? Or what tree this is? I am not very good at IDing wild plants but I took some branches of this tree home with hopes to give the bunnies some fresh leafy twigs as a treat 😊
  
  If anyone is very fimilar with this tree and can confidently confirm or deny that would be great!
  
  The tree is located at a wetlands wildlife reserve so im confident its all organic.

  It looks like a very typical weeping willow, leaves, shape of the tree and location (near water).
  
  There are many types of willow, they’re all edible for buns. They seem to like some types better than others, though. I have a tree of your type in my yard and my buns have all loved the leaves and “twigs”.
  
  If you can get a bigger amount the leaves dry very well and can be a nice dietary addition come winter.

  Thanks both! I was thinking it was a weeping williow too but just wanted to see if others thought the same 🙂
  
  A tree IDing app also thinks willow, so with that I have given them each little, which they both ate in seconds lol!
