    My husband and I purchased a home with numerous well established trees, and I am hoping to identify each one of them. A few of them I think I can figure out, but I don't know where to start with the ones I have attached photos of. The last one with the dark red leaves had pink flower in the spring
    Thanks!

    I'd say Acer spp, perhaps Juglans nigra (black walnut) - is that tree young? If it's established, do you have photos of the habit? and probably one of the ornamental cherries or plums (Prunus spp.) I'd need to see closeups of #3 to be completely sure.

    #1 Acer palmatum.
    #2 Juglans ailantifolia or J. cinerea.

    I'd say it was the Asian walnut. The plum is probably a purple-leaved cherry plum.
