Tree ID

Hi,

I have the follow 3 trees which I'm wondering if anyone here can identify as they were planted by the previous owners of the property.Any assistance is appreciated as I plan to work on reviving the garden next and some of the trees are in need of tlc.

Tree 1
Leaves only appear in summer, looks like a dead stick for the rest of the year and it's planted near some herbs if that helps.

Tree 3 - looks like a dwarf plant but has a fruit like an apple - this fruit appeared in the same spot last summer. There are also a few thorns on the stems.

I think the third one is a quince, the fruit looks right tho the leaves look a bit small. I think that's what it is though. The second one is a beech and I don't know what the first one is, it doesn't look very happy

Agree with you on two and three.
First one......yeah very sad, I've noticed a lot of fruit trees this year look like this.

thanks, have a hedge row of copper beach also and didn't make the connection leaf wise as their location didn't make sense to me with the fruit trees.

looked up quince - again makes sense as it looks similar to some on google and they have some berry bushes beside it.

the tree that doesn't look great, leaves are starting to die back, it did look much better earlier in the summer but yep they all need looking after. I'm just not familiar with what to do yet.

No. 1 is a true quince tree ( cydonia oblonga) No. 2 I agree with above is a beech and No.3 is the flowering quince (chaenomeles) an untidy mess unless trained up or over something, nice flowers.
