Conifer ID help please

[Dorset Treeman]

Hello Arbtalkers.

 

I was hoping to get some help with identification of the 3 conifers in the attached photos. I will post more pictures of each tree in individual posts to try and make it easier. I have tried to id them myself so that I'm not totally lazy (as if!) but conifers are so bloody difficult imo.

 

Thanks in advance:thumbup1:

The first one. I thought this looked like a yellow Lawson Cypress so maybe 'Albospica' or 'Hilieri' but it may not even be a cypress knowing my ident skills!

The second one has baffled me (and annoyed me as I've seen loads of these before). Any help please :confused1:

 

A type of cypress maybe ??

Here goes then, as seen in the first photo:

 

Right hand tree - Cedrus deodara

 

Middle tree - Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Ellwoodii'

 

Left hand tree Chamaecyparis lawsoniana 'Lanei'

 

Conifers are my nemesis and I too struggle; good luck

Third and finally, my first though on this was Larix but no cones on the floor, just the things in the final picture (flowers?) which were in abundance under the tree but may be a red herring and from something else (sorry!!). Bark also covered in a climber so the picture is probably not really of much use (sorry again!)

 

My guess on this one was atlas cedar?

I'm with Andrew on the deodar cedar and chamy of some sort

Well, as far as i can see...

 

first one - Chamaecyparis lawosniana 'Goldern Wonder'

 

second - Juniperus communis

 

third - Cedrus deodara

I don't think 2 is Juniper. It is the characteristic juvenile foliage of Lawsons', and 'Elwoodii' characeristically keeps juvenile foliage like this all over for all of its life.

I forgot to mention the prize for getting them all right is that you get to cut them all down, chip up the brash and in return you get to keep all the highly valuable timber for free lol.
