Things in my garden

Can you please confirm the identity of these? I think the first is a species of willow.

The second has been planted as a hedge but I am not sure what it is, I really need confirmation that it isn't a tree. I think it may grow up to be picture three ( I don't know what that is either) although the younger plant is much lighter at the present time.

I do have lots of escallonia hedges and I am sure that photos 2 and 3 are not that.

 

I would agree with you that the first one is Willow. I have no idea about the other two though.

 

Thanks I thought it was a willow but wanted to be sure but I have taken the precaution of replanting it and some other things elsewhere as they had been planted in an unsuitable places given their eventual size.
I am hoping that the so far unidentified plant isn't going to be mammoth.

 

The other two look like Griselina and Euonymus.

 

I saw the same plant in a garden centre today and it was a Griselinia littoralis and it is a hedging plant thankfully. I shall look up Euonymus in a minute, so thanks again.

 

The first looks like weeping willow... Salix x chrysocoma..... they get big.. quickly!

The other two are griselina and euonymus..... both good hedging, (as is escallonia) in coastal areas..... you don't say where you are!

 

I was an ex city dweller now living by the sea side, so these coastal plants are all new to me.
