    I think the second one is Berberis Thumbergii, does it have nasty thorns?
    But i could be wrong

      1. Is definitely an Acer.
      Not sure which on.
      Time will tell.
      Need to see what the leaves look like in the spring.

      It might be Acer pseudoplatanus brilliantissimum.
      This is beautiful in the spring with shrimp pink leaves.
      However, the rest of the year it can look ill.
