tree identification help
 

Please identify the two trees/shrubs whose photo webpages are posted
here. The photos were taken mid-May around a library and an apartment
complex in northern New Jersey.

Tree 1, five photos. My guess is chokecherry, however the trunk does
not look like the one saw in the book:

Looks more like Black Cherry, _Prunus serotina_, but chokecherry
_P. virginiana_ is pretty similar in flower.

No, that's one of the shrubby honeysuckle [Lonicera] species.
Not all of them are vines; some are shrubs. At least some of
the shrubs are often considered troublesome weedy exotics, but
they're attractive as cultivated ornamental shrubs.

I concur with Mel's identifications: #1 is definitely cherry and I agree
that it is black cherry, Prunus serotina; #2 is absolutely one of the
shrubby lonicera's I don't know which one.

Thanks Scott and Mel. Along with Black Locust, these two plants seem
to be the most noticable with pleasing white flowers in early to
mid-May in New Jersey along major roads.
