Objection : Willow is a group of trees, not a specific species.

Unlike White willow which is a fantastic answer.

It is indeed - I will review this shortly

They are indeed deciduous, but they aren't listed on the declared reference point as a native of the UK

The question didn't ask for a specific species - it asked for a tree. A willow is a tree. There may be different types, but they are all willows and they are all trees, so I maintain that my answer is correct.

Incidentally, some willows are native to the UK and some are not. The White Willow is one of those that is not, so is an incorrect answer. "Salix alba (white willow) is a species of willow native to Europe and western and central Asia." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salix_alba

Are you suggesting that the woman we now know as Victoria Beckham is not the same woman as Victoria Adams, who was indisputably an original member of The Spice Girls?

Simply testing pedantry.

Tilting that horse chestnut is a fail.

Adams/Beckham is an interesting argument

Willow is a correct answer. There are willows, which are trees, that are native to the UK. The question didn't ask for us to go into sub-species.
