We just purchased some acreage and there are a few trees on it that have me searching all of Google to no avail. Can anyone tell me what they are before I go nuts? I have looked for hours and hours. The first two don't fit any of the "what type of leaf is it?" apps available. 

 

The first two photos are of a stunning tree beside an historic house. It is quite close and will need to be trimmed back, but didn't want to touch it until I knew what it was. Then I can trim it when it's the right time. It is stunning so I don't want to kill it. There are a lot of babies on the ground (no idea why I didn't take a photo of that). 

The third, fourth and fifth photos are of the same type of trees. They are in a big patch. I got a closeup shot of how the leaves look. I thought some sort of ficus but none matched. 

The last two photos show a tree with a reddish tint towering over everything. There is also a tall grey bumpy tree next to it. Sorry I don't have better images of that one. It was quite thick under there and I couldn't get any closer. 

We are going to start cleaning it up and do not want to remove something important. I hate to cut down anything unless it is causing a real problem (ie pipes, killing everything else, etc).  

 

I am so happy with the property there are some GLORIOUS Butia capita palms that have been there at least 60 years old and just lovely. Of course, I didn't get any photos of those to share, but I will :-) 

 

Thanks to everyone in advance for any assistance you can give me. 

By the way they are located near Gainesville, Florida. 

 

First two pictures look like some type of Podocarpus, maybe P. maki left to grow into it's natural, tree-like form..  Not sure on the others.. Has a Ligustrum-like look to me, but not certain on that for definitive ID. 

Orange-ish colored hue on some of the trees is likely a type of Lichen. Totally harmless to you or the tree(s)

Congrats on the property purchase..

It definitely looks like the Podocarpus! It has to be at least 100 years old. It is quite tall (maybe 45+ feet) 

Good to know about the Lichen. I wasn't sure if that was just the tree or not. 

Thank you!

Podocarpus macrophyllus

Ligustrum lucidum

Grey bumpy tree: probably Celtis laevigata
