Can you identify these 2 trees please?

Hi,

Can you help me identify the following trees using the following images? Just to confirm, I am referring to the one in the centre and the one on the left hand side (excuse the washing).

1a)
1b)

1c)


My guess on this one was some sort of cherry tree given the little fruit you can see in the picture directly above.

2b)

2c)


For this one I was thinking maybe some sort of cypress? I'm no expert.

 

I think the first is a purple beech and the second a chamaecyparis or false cypress.

 

No1 a possible purple crab apple.?
Go along with Dai on No2.

 

I agree with copper beach for the first. Don't know about the second tree but maybe Lawson's Cypress but I'm really not sure.

 

Doesn't the crab apple in pic one have any bearing on the matter?
edit.
Sorry should have said pic no 1c

 

I agree it's a Malus (crab apple) as I have a young one in my garden and the bark doesn't look right for a Prunus (cherry).

 

Thank you all. I thought the crabapple had grown at a rather strange angle. Any suggestions as to why this might be? Is it anything to do with the 'cypress' next to it?

 

It's grown at that strange angle because of shading from the conifer.

 

What would you do with these trees going forward? I don't find the shape of the crabapple particularly attractive and the conifer appears to be causing it problems. I had a tree company have a look at them recently and they suggested topping the conifer (especially as it leans) and just tidying up the crabapple. Can the crabapple be retrained into a better shape and should I remove the conifer altogether?

 

The Malus (crab apple) is to mature now to change it's shape, even as a young tree it would have been difficult. I also don't think topping the conifer will make a lot of difference either. It's your choice whether you remove it or not, if nothing else it will let more light into your garden.
