My "homework" is to identify the two large trees/shrubs in the back corners of my yard that cast shade over the yard, and how tall they are. Here are photos of the first one: /photos/68988265@N08/8451011319/ And a close up of the leaves: /photos/68988265@N08/8451009893/ This one looks like a shrub to me because of the cluster base vs trunk. My dad thought it might be a lilac. Here is the other: /photos/68988265@N08/8451010721/ Close up: /photos/68988265@N08/8452101794/ And the trunk now that the leaves are gone: /photos/68988265@N08/8451022957/ The leaves on the first one are gone, too. Any ideas? Also, any advice on how to figure out how tall they are? Thanks!
