Previous home owner planted them, and I would like to know what they are, how tall/big can they grow up to.
So that I can move some of them to some other place while they are still little, in case that there is no enough space when they grow up.
Zone: DC area.
Thanks.
If you take a small branch, or maybe even just a leaf, to a local nursery, they can tell you.
I can't tell what they are from those pics (tho #2, 6, and 8 look similar and familiar). I'm from the deep south, though, so those may be plants I've not seen before. A couple look like fig leafs, but I know they can't be fig trees way up there.
In photo #2 you have both a Tulip poplar and a maple tree seedling. Both will grow very large and are too close to the sidewalk and steps. I recommend that you move them.
Not sure about mulberry, but 2,6, 8 are tulip poplar which can grow about a foot a year and grow really large. Ours was over 50' tall. They cast nice dappled shade and huge limbs are great for swings.
If you have a mulberry, I suggest getting rid of it. They don't get huge but when they are old enough to produce fruit will can cover the ground with dropped fruit, very attractive to cockroaches and not not so tastee people want them.
