Its obviously a cypress of some sort. The tree itself is nother like
an Italian Cypress, its not column shaped, more of a Monterey Shape.
Its very slow growing unlike Leyland.

The 2nd is

The dead leaves on the floor are very much the same as a Whitebeam
(Sorbus Aria) approx 3ins long. The tree is about 6 m tall, the fruits
are about 0.5 inch dia and almost bright red. They are still on the
tree, but the blackbirds are begining to strip them off.
The seed inside the fruit is in a cluster of 3, very similar to a
Medlar, (I think) which is in the same family.

The seeds are creamy coloured, I am told that Whitebeam seeds are
black. So they are not Whitebeam (Sorbus Aria).

Any ideas Plz


I think that number one is Thuja occidentalis
http://tinyurl.com/ajtqv. If you agree, can you identify the
variety?
