Can anyone help identify those 2 large trees? We plan to remove them, 1 in the front yard (the far left one) , 1 in the backyard, but not 100% sure. Will trim them instead if they are indeed GOOD trees.
For those who would like to help answer can you give some more info, like if they flower, what the bark is like, or other characteristics about the trees. Your zone. . Picture of leaf could be helpful too.
The tree in the front looks like black birch. As noted above by Eldemila, a close up of the leaves would be most helpful. Why you would want to cut that one down is beyond me.
The one in the back I have no clue as to what it is. Looking at the ground below it, kinda tells me it's a shallow root tree, or the canopy is shading the area, allowing nothing to grow. This one I would get rid of if it was in my yard. Maybe plant another tree that has more of an upswept branching.
Keep them both. Very pretty and look like they have been well taken care of. The placement of the one in the front looks in balance with the house and other trees. The one in the back seems to provide light shade. You can improve the soil at the base as directed by a local nursery if you want better grass.
The white one looks like river birch to me and the multi-stems suggest some type of dogwood on the other tree. Yes, close-ups of the leaves and bark would greatly help.
I'm fairly sure the white one is some type of birch.
I don't know what they are. As others have pointed out, close up pictures of bark, leaves, flowers or fruits (if any) would be helpful for ID.
Also location. Your other posts indicate you may be a house flipper living in Dallas, is that correct?
But I'm curious about why you want to take them out? Both trees look healthy and very well taken care of. They are attractive, their size and shapes are balanced and their placements adds to the attractiveness of the house. They look like good shade trees and air cleaners, good protectors against high winds, dust, high temperatures and loss of moisture in the soil.
They are beautiful trees and I think if you take them out you will regret it, and it won't be an improvement to the value of the property, instead it will depreciate the value and attractiveness of the rest of the property.
* - If it was mine and I was going to take anything out, or at least prune back, top off and thin out, it would be that hedge of shorter trees with stones placed around it along the fence in the back yard. It apparently (from what I can see) provides no privacy or purpose and it really looks out of place and balance next to all the nice big shade trees in both your yard and in your neighbours yards.
Do you live somewhere warm? The one in the backyard looks like it might be a eucalyptus. Can't tell without seeing the leaves, though.
Just noticed this. You don't need a warm climate for a lot of eucalyptus. They can easily take -10c, maybe even -15c, and they are naturalised here.
