Early Willow buds hairy for the spring chill. I guess the buds do look like they have Goat hair on them also. But i did look into why they are called Goat Willow, two ideas were; as willow is so suitable for coppicing Goats found it very easy and tasty to eat them and another is Goat Moths lay their eggs in the trees.
