Identifying Multiple Trees/Plants

15 years ago

I recently purchased a new home with the following trees and plants that I have no idea about. I would like to find out as much information I can from members pertaining to:

- Name of plant/tree

- Pruning, trimming instructions

- Watering and care instructions

- Other things to know before I try to clean up my yard

The home is equipped with an irrigation system that I need to get operating again. Any help from the experience of members here will be greatly appreciated so I can move forward on taking care of reviving the landscaping that I've inherited.

Number 2 looks like a rosemary. Number 5 through 7 and 11 are ornamental palms, but I can't name which. Number 4 is an abelia.

Everything you have are mediterranean climate plants. You might want to call up your local university for water and care instructions. In california, I remember UC Davis Arboretum has a huge mediterranean plant section. Grats on your new garden, and good luck!

I'll take a stab at it, too, though it's been awhile since I've lived and worked in a climate that will support these kinds of plants.

1. Bottlebrush
2.? Could it be thyme?
3. possibly Rosemary
4.Indian Hawthorn (100%)
5. Don't remember which palm
6. Pampasgrass, I think...after it's annual haircut
7. Saw Palmetto, I think
8. Pittosporum (variegated)
9. ?
1. Maybe Muhlygrass seedling
2. Saw palm seedling?
3. Oleander
4. Muhly grass? It's a real staple in semi-tropical regions
5. This one might be Pineapple Guava
You can verify any suggestions you receive by doing a (google) search on the individual plants' images. Look at several pictures before deciding yay or nay. Then, you can do a quickie search on the individual plants to find out more about their care.

The numbers in the slide show are different from the numbers in the first view you get. I was using the slide show numbers hence the divergence in the rosemary id.

I was wondering if the Rosemary may in fact be Wistrengia. A closer photo would help, or failing that, a description of the leaf colour.

Sorry for the typo, that should be Westringia. I do wish we had an edit facility. :o(

deejaus - I think you could be right. Not a plant I know so I just went for the familiar.
