    I'm afraid I cant help on the ID for any of them but the ones without leaves you will need closer photos of the twigs and buds...

    I'd say the first one is a eucalyptus, the others are not giving much away.
    A bunch of winter twigs is not a good starting point.

    well no it's not:( but maybe a combination of the buds and twigs with a look on the ground for some seed capsules/leaves will help...

    The first is Eucalyptus, possibly Gunii, the second looks like a Sycamore and the third, I think, is a Willow.:gnthb:

    Without seeing the leaves it`s hard to say.

    With the upward growth it`s unlikely to be weeping. Probably the common White willow. As it`s been Pollarded though, who knows.:gnthb:

    mmmm.... sounds like you guessed I don't know what I'm talking about? They are listed on the nhbc building near trees guidelines as 24m or 16m max height.

    I should really buy a tree reference book

    1. Eucalyptus
    2. Purple leaf plum (?)
    3. White willow

    Any recent photos of the trees in leaf would be a vast help to verify ID.
