Help identify plants/trees at our new house

Hi all,

We moved house a few weeks ago, probably not the best time to try to identify some leaf-less items, nonetheless I'm hoping some of you may be able to help us, then we can prepare as soon as we can. In particular probably trimming a few if possible.

There are a few Shrubs and a few trees. Unfortunately the trees are particularly bare at the moment.

Any id's or help would be greatly appreciated, especially the trees! If pics of particular parts help then I can oblige.

Many thanks,
David

Shrub 1 - I've seen this one before I'm sure. Approx 1.5m high x 2m wide.


Shrub 2 - About 1m tall, not very wide

Shrub 3 - 3.5-4m tall and about 1.5m wide


Tree 1 - 6m+ As tall as the house

Tree 2 - 6m+ As tall as the house

Tree 3 - 2.5-3m tall I'd say.

 

1. Euonymus. Possibly Euonymus Silver Queen or Euonymus Emerald Gaity.

2.
3. Cotoneaster sp. Impossible to say which one.

Trees 1.2 and 3.
Far safer to wait until they have leaves before attempting any id.
Even a good pic of dead leaf clinging to a branch might help.

 

I hope that euonymus isn't near your front door. I had a neighbor with a euonymus hedge between our houses, and by my back porch. In summer the flower scent was intense and delicious, but it was mobbed by bees and WASPS. I adore bees but hate those nasty yellow jackets, and avoided that side of my house every summer.

 

It's right next to where the rotary drier is and on the path down the garden.

 

2. Pyracantha ?

 

2. looks like an Escallonia to me.

 

Tree 2 is possibly a flowering cherry of some kind.

Not sure about the other two, a close up of the buds and the bark might help us give an ID.

Agree with JazzSi on shrub 2, looks like an Escallonia.

 

I really should think in more depth when I'm looking at plants here in the Id forum. I have 80ft of Escallonia on the boundary of my garden!

@Hockeynut if you crush the leaves of shrub N0.2 they will have a citrus smell to them if they are Escallonia.

 

Thank you everyone for your replies.

We are starting to think that Tree 1 could be a Walnut tree, as catkins have appeared, along with the first leaves now. The pattern of the bark looks very distinctive. What do you think?

 

Sorry but it is definitely not a walnut.
This is the catkins of a walnut.

It is a Salix sp...a willow tree.
It will grow HUGE . Not at all suitable for a small back garden.
The roots are thirsty for water and will seek any pipes nearby ..sewerage pipes/water pipes ..if possible they will grow inside the pipe until they block it.
Best remove it asap before that happens. Remove or kill the roots or it will grow back.
