I've posted a picture in the Plant ID forum, but I thought I'd check here, as well.

I picked it up at a nursery a couple of years ago to put on my deck. Paid too much for it, I'm sure, and now I can't remember what it is. Can't find it in my plant tags or journal, either.

It's done okay, but I can see by the leaf loss this summer that a south-facing deck is just too much for it. I'm going to transplant it, but I'm not quite sure how shade a location I should select.

The brown things are catkins - they were never blossoms. Someone suggested buddleia, but it really doesn't look like my buddleia (and, as I said, there were no blossoms). I thought at first that it looked to be a willow of some sort.

Anywa, any suggestions?
