Hi There, I have a piece of property on the North Fork of the Coquille River in Coos County. The property is located about a mile north of La Verne Park. I have this rather tall willow tree and wonder what the genus and species is of the tree. It is much more upright than the traditional willows in the area.

Thank you for the excellent photos. This looks like Pacific willow (Salix lasiandra), an Oregon native. According to Oregon State Extension's "Trees to Know in Oregon", its growth habit can be as a shrub or a tree that can get 40 to 60 feet high. It's abundant west of the Cascades at low and moderate elevations.
