    2. I think it is a Prunus sp., (like P. cerasifera 'Atropurpurea')

    2.Looks like Prunus cerasifera. possibly Pissardii or Nigra.
    3.Looks more like Fraxinus latifolia. Oregon ash.
    4.Think this is Celtis, going by the 3 veins from the base of the leaf,also the fruits.Possibly C.australis.Common name Nettle tree.

    Agree with Lila and Luddite, except #3 is Fraxinus excelsior (Common Ash).

    Hybrids between European and Japanese larch are grown in UK also.

    Looks like either Hybrid Larch Larix × marschlinsii (syn. L. × eurolepis) or Japanese Larch Larix kaempferi to me. Branch structure isn't good for L. decidua. Can you get a close-up pic of a cone from it?

    1 - Michael, here's a cone for you. So is it Hybrid Larch or Japanese Larch?

    2&3 - Cedrus deodara?

    4 - Just curious... from afar tree looks like Picea pungens. is it normal for a tree of this species to have dual-colored needles; white needles on branch tips, otherwise green needles?

    thanx!

    Larch cones look like they might show intermediacy between the two species, implying hybridity. Are they all from just the one tree, or did the ones with the partly reflexed scales come from a different tree than the others, with scales more incurving in appearance? Himalayan cedar perhaps 'Albo-spica' or another white-tipped form. Some 'Albo-spica' have been put on the market comparatively recently here, producing specimens approaching size of one shown. Spruce looks like blue Colorado spruce. Should be stiff to the touch.

    First pic is Larix cones, could be either L. decidua or L. × marschlinsii.

    Second pic shows Cedrus deodara centre, Larix × marschlinsii at the left edge.

    Third pic (composite) shows Larix × marschlinsii seed cones above, Cedrus deodara needles and pollen cone below.

    Fourth pic is Picea pungens.

    Yes: I'd say blue Colorado spruce. Due to compact habit might be a named form. Or a unselected seedling with compact habit.
