Help to Identify 5 trees

jackals7 · 9th July 2008, 03:14 PM

I have these 5 trees in my back yard. A lot of them are over grown with vines and shrubs. I would like to clear the vines and maybe a couple of the smaller trees so that the larger ones can take off. If anyone knows any of these tree types, it would really help me.
Thank you!

What type of pictures would you need? More of the leaf itself or the tree trunk?

All these tree's have vines that have climbed into them. I'm planning on pulling most of the vine out. the trunk of the tree's are just hard to get to right now.
I'm trying to also find out what tree's are worth saving from the vines.
Thanks again for your help!

#3.......... looks like a sweet gum, the leaves will have opposite attachment points, with buds in the leaf axis, some of the more mature 'twigs' will have corky like bark. just not 100% sure pictures of the whole tree would be nice, bark, form any fruits or seeds.

#4 .............. the foliage looks distinctly, like that of the tulip tree Liridendron tulipifera

hi, the thing that makes me not too sure about the Sweet gum, is those toothed margins
