You can see the young walnuts on it in your pics.

This is a single leaf of a walnut. It is made up of leaflets.

While willow/salix just have single leaves.

5. Please add a pic when it flowers.
Leaves don't look right for Golden rod.

If it's as good (!!!??) as Google translate, then don't rely on it when trying to identify anything you think might be edible!

Thanks GG. My friend has moved to the South of France into a beautiful well established garden. She is not a gardener and asks me what things are. I wouldn't rely on Google for ID, especially edible stuff.
