    I know it's hard to tell when they're so young, but I'd love to know what variety these plants are. Looks like 2 conifers, a holly, some sort of maple and the biggest one is something from a nearby orchard I bet. If you have an idea about their specific type, do tell. Thanks!

    I am not real good at identifying plants. #1 and #3 look the same and the name is on the tip of my tongue but won't roll off. #4 is holly but I don't know if a bush or tree. Ours wit leaves like that was a tree. # 5 looks like a small yew or spruce. and number 6 looks like a berry bush. Wannabe

    You've got lovely bushes! :D The two last ones look like a beech and a hazel, but I'm not very good at trees.

    These plants look like they are straight of my backyard.No wonder we live so close.
    #1 and #3 are Maple.
    #2 is pine - this is very hardy.I plucked one out of the yard last year and put it in a pot and left it out all winter. Right now it is beautiful indoor.
    #4 is a Holly.
    #5 is Douglus Fir
    #6 and #7 are blue berry - very invasive. I'd give an arm for someone to remove them from my backyard :(

    I think 6 and 7 are young beeches. It wasn't a good angle, but it's a woody tree guy, definitely not blue/blackberry. The growth is actually a lot more upright than the photo looked, but now it's all green and looks about 5X bushier than it actually is.

    Thank you so much for identifying these for me, I needed to know what to save before the paver guys came in to lay the bricks. One more question... how big will a beech get and where should I put it?

    Thanks for the link Droopy, helped me figure it out! The trees in 6 and 7 are Filbert. I knew the leaves were familiar, but seeing that they weren't beech must have knocked something loose in my lil' brain.

    I went to elementary school up the street from where we live now, but then there were no houses behind the school, just orchards and farms. I remembered that filberts grew on the other side of the fence. Kind of makes me feel all sappy and nostalgic to think some of that orchard survived. :-D
