I have this tree in my yard, and we're planning on pruning it..(cutting some of the lower limbs)... and i just know we'll kill it or something..

Soo, just in case... I'd like to know the name so i can hopefully find another if needed..
*also in the spring/early summer the tips of the leaves turn a light peach color...if that helps any..)

Thanks for any info!

I'm going to venture a guess:

Dappled Willow or something close to it

Imp with the green thumb
 
Thanks guys! I'll google them and see of they match...

My guess would be Salix integra - which is also called "flamingo." It's in the weeping willow family. It's also called a Dappled Willow. Check out this link for photos of the leaves when they have their color...... Is it similar to your plant?

They are in the willow family and are usually shrubs. I believe the temp along with soil conditions affects how pink they get. When well maintained and when they're roots find a proper water source they become beautiful trees as you seem to have!
 
I don't know, but my buck goat would love to eat the leaves down for you first.
