    Hi there,

    Same old story. We just bought a house and I've been out there trying to ID these trees with my Coastal BC Field Guide but I'm struggling as many of these aren't native.

    This property is in Victoria in the middle of the Garry Oak ecosystem in the Coastal Douglas Fir biogeoclimatic zone.

    I would really appreciate any help!
    Thanks!
    Brian

    Clerodendrum trichotomum or Catalpa sp.
    Eucalyptus sp.

    Prunus domestica
    Robinia pseudoacacia 'Frisia'

    I found another book, and I think the 3rd photo is of a Black (European) Alder: Alnus glutinosa, as it has 'cones' and rounded serrated leaves.

    Doesn't look like that. Some close-ups would help.
