Identify my trees

imageimageimageimage Hi, I have moved in to a new build house and am wondering what trees I have. There are 3 which were planted in April this year by the builders, 2 of which are the same. Does anyone recognise what they are? My plan is to make them grow outwards more, as opposed to height. Any help is much appreciated. Alex

    The top one is a Pear I suspect and the other two look like Alder.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Not sure about Alder now I've zoomed in a bit.

    No 2 looks like hornbeam. Carpinus betulus.

    Devon.

    Thanks for the replies. Hornbeam looks like the middle tree we have. The other two which are the same, has some small white flowers growing on it near the top.

    It's pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer', but any flower is out of season. It'll flower quite early, March to April. Autumn colour is rich golds and pale orange.

    Thanks hortum that's brilliant. Thanks very much for everyone's help. Looking forward to the autumn colours.
