Identify these please?

Hi,
I was out for a stroll the other day down by a local canal in Chilliwack. I was
wondering if you could identify one a tree, and two a shrub? Thank you.

First two pics are Japanese Walnut Juglans ailantifolia.

Second two are a species of dogwod Cornus.

 

Red-twig dogwood. Not sure views of Juglans good enough to be sure it is not just as well one of the related species, such as J. cathayensis; J. ailantifolia is not the only one from this group present here (unless they've been merged or subsumed). But probably not J. cinerea (the North American native representative) as the leaves and leaflets look too bold.

 

Thank you guys, very helpful.

 

They've not been officially merged, but probably should be as the differences are minimal (Grimshaw, Int. Dendrol. Soc. Yearb. 2003: 107-130).

 

Juglans cinerea (butternut) is a very common escape in the Chilliwack area.

 

All the same, I'd agree with Ron, this one doesn't look quite right for Butternut.

 

Leaves too big and fancy for butternut.

 

Thanks Ron and Michael, for making me question that particular received wisdom. Anyway, I had an opportunity to check for myself yesterday. It is indeed Juglans ailanthifolia that is the common escape in the Fraser Valley. The leaflets are very broad. The fruits are on a long raceme and they are more or less globose, rather than pointy. It's terrible when you find out you've been wrong about something for twenty years.

 

Now the only question is whether the epithet should have an "h" or not.

 

Juglans ailantifolia, no 'h': "Comment: this is the original spelling".

 

Apparently the region agrees with them, as large Asian walnuts and butternuts are encountered repeatedly in cultivation in NW Washington. See Van Pelt, Champion Trees of Washington State (1996, University of Washington) for locations and dimensions of specific examples.
