I am trying to i.d. these two trees. The leaf samples came from trees at CSUN, southern CA. Through googling, I've come up with these names: Podocarpus gracilior (Fern Pine) for the one with long, thin leaves, and Zelkova serrata (Sawleaf zelkova from the Elm family) for the other. Can anyone confirm these two names? Thanks for any help.

| I think those would be reasonable guesses. The specimens are kind of far gone, especially #1. I'm very familiar with the juvenile foliage of Podocarpus because its widely used as terrarium/dishgarden plant in the floral trade. But I don't know if it changes as it matures, so I can't say for sure. #2 definitely could be a Zelkova |

| Thanks for your response denninmi. If I get a chance, I will visit the campus to get a better look at these tree. |
