| Does anyone know what kind of tree the taller one is? The owners said they don't know. We bought a fixer-upper and are re-landscaping our entire yard and I'd like a couple for our own yard.
Thanks.

| Sorry - I just want to know what the taller tree is, I know the shorter to be an olive. Here is another photo of the taller tree: Bill |

| Also curious as to what kind of tree this is. Guessing this one is easy, I'm just new to all of this. Thank you in advance. |

A guess without a closeup of the foliage and bark would be some type of elm (Ulmus). VERY poorly trimmed, stubs are evident, and both look like lollipops.

| I don't know what either is but the larger lollipop has pinnate leaves as far as I can see so not an elm. Could it be Schinus molle? aka Pepper Tree (Not a tree I know personally) |

| Large one looks like a Grevillea, perhaps a G. robusta. They are Australian natives that are used in many parts of California. Close ups would sure help. Also, CHE3, you might want to cross-post on the California Gardening Forum. More likely to get folks familiar with milder climate trees there. Good luck! |

| It's hard to see detail but I thought G robusta had much more finely divided foliage. |

| The first one is definitely a Schinus. Second one, not a good enough picture to tell. |

| Can you do any better than that with the images? It's a bit of a challenge to come up with an ID when you don't have detailed images of the foliage, at the very LEAST. |

| The first one is not Schinus because those have a much weepier habit, have a much lumpier trunk and are generally more squat. It's a Grevillea with a very bad pruning job. Bark is right and foliage it right. Grevilleas are good looking but very, very messy. Their orangy yellow flowers drop and are very sticky. They stick to the bottom of your shoes and get tracked in on carpet or goop up the inside of your car. Euclid Avenue in Ontario CA is lined with them. When I lived there I walked Euclid often. The trees are almost redwoods tall and handsome but the sticky droppings were pretty annoying. I had to scrape my shoes on on the curb before I got into my car or walked indoors anywhere. The second one I am less certain but it looks like a paloverde. |
