Some sort of willow I think - that looks like a "finished" catkin. Maybe a goat willow - how big is the tree, Grandalise?

thank you for your reply moon growe
beatie the tree is about 8 to 10 ft high and i have been told via the internet that The shape seems to indicate fasciation.

That isn't fasciation which occurs when two, or more, flower stems fuse together. Looking at the photo again, I'd agree with Beattie a willow.

Neither do the leaves look like those of an apple. I think something else seeded in your pot and has grown on. Sorry I can't i.d.
