Dear botanists & gardeners,

Would one of you be so kind as to look at this image and tell me what
species each of these these two trees are?

The image link is he

You will have to mouse-over the image to see the highlight marks. If
you click on the magnifying glass icon above the image you can see a
higher-resolution image of the same shot which will allow you to see
the shapes of the individual leaves.

Thanks!


Tree one looks like a weeping spruce, several species have weeping forms,
so I can't say if this is a norway spruce or some other. The other one
isn't distinct enough with the flowers for me to say.

Left hand tree is a chaemacyparis of some kind; The other looks very like a clipped laurel with Russian vine climbing over the top and in flower.

Both will give trouble pretty soon as they are really too big for their location.
