OK Rob

the first one is easy so only the stem to start with.

 

 

 

 

[RobArb]

the first one, the bark, i'm going to guess a young Acer campestre but that is a guess, the second lot i think are Picea sp., possibly P. omorika or P. smithiana

A clue for the first, ever green, but not oak,

Second first part right

[RobArb]

Ok, I don't think its P. breweriana but could it beP. spinulosa

 

Don't really know any other weeping like spruces?

 

As far as the evergreen bark, let me have a think, mmmmm?

breweriana was my first thought.

I wonder if Janey has an idea,

 

the evergreen you would not expect to see them this big
