| Good Afternoon everyone.
I was recently in Japan, trip during which I took lots of pictures.
I was wondering a little question, what are the names of these three trees:

I think the second one is a salix babylonica (hope so, I can be wrong)
and the third one comes probably from the pine family (but which one? I don't know...)
If you have any idea, please feel free to answer.
Thank you very much! |

| I included your pictures below. The second is definitely a willow (Salix sp.). FataMorgana

| The first one does not show well enough here to tell. Willows are identified using specific anatomical characters, including those of their catkins - it will not be possible to tell from this photo. Since it has whitish candles the pine may be Japanese black pine - although I'd be more sure of that if it had stiffer-looking needles. |

Pine could possibly be a Tanyosho, Pinus densiflora Umbraculifera.

| Good Afternoon again :) First, thanks FataMorgana for having included my pictures on the forum ^^
Second of all, thank you bboy&hortster for your help :) From what I found on the internet, this Pine seems to be a Tanyosho!
What a pity my first picture is too small to be identified ><' |

| I asked a Japanese friend about the mystery tree. She believes it is loquat, Eriobotrya japonica. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Eriobotrya japonica

| I don't believe either of those is correct. The pine has the wrong coloration and habit and the other tree has just about everything wrong, starting with the hanging brown junk. |
