Name That Plant!

A Tree & a Shrub in NH

9 years ago

Hi: I was wondering if someone could help me identify the following, both located in a garden bed on the edge of a forest. The first 2 pictures are of a tree that might have planted itself in between two Rose of Sharon shrubs. The remaining pictures are of a shrub that might have been planted by former property owner. Thank you for looking!

Nr 2 quite likely an Euonymus alata ( burning bush?), the habitus/ shape and red leaf color would fit

First one looks like some sort of Sumac, and the second is definitely Burning Bush.

I take it back about the Sumac. It's not Sumac. Still thinking on it....

OK, I took it through a dichotomous key and, while I had to guess on a couple of steps through the key, came up with Black Locust, Robinia pseudoacacia. The bark looks quite different on older trees, but I googled the bark on a younger tree, and it seems like a good match.
