Thank you for your question. These appear to be those of a Salix magnifica, a willow described here: https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/plants/salix-magnifica
Once there are leaves, it can be positively identified, but, if the tree is planted near water, we at least have the species, since they love water. Enjoy!
