please help me idendify these

Hi Keith,

When you post pics in future, could you leave a gap in between them, otherwise they stick together on the same line & go sideways off the page. I've sorted it out for you this time.

Sometimes I stick together and go sideways too.........

 

2 2 is a bamboo, 5 fuschia, last 2 are sweet peas.

 

Hi...

No.2 Bamboo
No.3 & 4 a species of Pine Tree.
No.5 Fuschia
No.6 Winter Jasmine
No.8 & 9 Sweet Pea

Agree with Bilbo on all the above.
Looking at the trees in No. 1, from the general shape and the few leaves that are visible I'd say they're Sycamores.

 

Hi Trunky was perhaps thinking Field Maple for the trees????

 

No.7 could be the Chocolate Vine - Akebia ????

 

I see what you mean Bilbo, could be Field Maple.
Main reason I went for Sycamore was the general shape and habit looked quite 'open', where Field Maple usually looks more dense and closely branched.
You've got me wondering now.

 

Thank you for the replies, this is my new house and don't know much about gardening, my next question is will the roots of the trees damage my foundations of the house? The pine tree is about 20 feet high and 20 feet away from the house, and the maple is again 20 feet high and 30 feet away from the house.

According to building regulations yes, in reality probably not. Depends when the house was built & what sort of substrate you are on.

 

Also Pines trees are in comparison relatively shallow rooted, I'd be more worried of it falling in a gale than the roots doing any damage. As long as the tree is healthy it should be ok, if you can get it checked over by an expert to make sure its healthy and if it is enjoy the tree....wildlife love them, especially birds like the little goldcrests :thumb:

 

Bit like Chard girls then.
