Hi Connor,
You aren't spamming when you are asking for help. Spamming is trying to sell something or advertise sites on a forum.
I'm going to try and help, but some of the pictures aren't close enough or missing some aspects such as leaves or needles.
1 - appears to be some type of ornamental pear from the shape of the tree. I suspect it's a Bradford pear or Cleveland pear.
2 - appears to be some type of Fir aka Abies.

3 - appears to be some type of Spruce aka Picea

4 - not sure what I'm supposed to id here - tree or shrubs?
5 - might be some type of Cedar or Arborvitae.

6 - no clue
7 - might be some type of maple

8 - no clue - is this a tree or shrub?
9 - can't tell from the picture
10 - Forsythia - to rejuvenate prune cut the oldest stems flush to the ground. Never do more then 1/3 of the oldest ones each year or you risk stressing this shrub. DO NOT prune into a box or ball shape as this makes them ugly and die out in the interior.

11 - can't tell as picture is too far away, but my guess would be crab apple aka Mallus or ornamental cherry of some sort. You can look through these collections to see if the blossoms are similar. If you see what looks the same, you can search out pics on google by using the botanical names and clicking on 'Images'.

You don't say where these are located, but one of these 'keys' might help you to better id the conifers.

This site is in Spanish, but has some good close ups of tree flowers, fruit, bark and seeds by botanical name.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
Wow, thanks so much for the help, I really appreciate it!![]()
You are very welcome! Wish I could have been able to id more. Is this a new home purchase with plant material you need to id?
