0 John Richmond Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi Gillian I'm no conifer expert but I think the id on #1 is more likely to be Lawson's cypress, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana, than leylandii due to the smoother surface. Leylandii cones are quite lumpy. For #2 and #3 I'd look at Cotoneaster rather than rosa. Same family so the hips will have similarities but the leaves don't have the serrated edges of the Uk wild roses. If I was guessing I'd start my search with at Cotoneaster simonsii, a species that is increasingly naturalising (bird sown) in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
