    Second one as said above is Aucuba japonica also known as spotted laurel.

    It is Prunus laurocerasus which is commonly called Cherry laurel.. All very confusing !

    The bottom one, although I have no idea what it is, looks like it's been bonsai'd.

    Could it be a cedar?

    I've had a look around and I'm now thinking the bottom picture is a Juniper. :scratch:

    Hi all and thanks foryour posts.looked into the Juniper and it is one. I would like to see if I could make it into a bonsai.Have started so time will tell :) The Spotted Laurel Is a large size plant.When can I take cutting from this.. again I'd like to keep in a large pot and also see if it will be happy outside in the front garden in soil.
