Expert Response
It looks as though you have a laurel willow (Salix pentandra), a shrubby willow that has a long bloom period. It is dense and very hardy and is best pruned late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. For more detail, see https://www.ag.ndsu.edu/trees/handbook/th-3-141.pdf
