Ian, I don't know that you'd see many at that stage of growth even down there. My sister is a basket maker down in that part of the world! I'll send her the picture and see if she can identify it! We once did basket making at school in about 1956 and it was with willow not with that cane stuff with wooden bases! Ah…that makes sense looking at it.

The Somerset levels, where I grew up, are lined with the withy trees, young willow is used for the basket making, being grown in fields and harvested. http://www.somersetlevels.co.uk/information.cfm?y=y&page_id=13&cat_id=0 I should have recognized your photo, but I only know one species of tree it’s called ‘tree’.
