the second one looks like some sort of willow.
the first I don't know but if it has flowers at 4 foot it's probably not a tree

The first one has similar leaf shape and arrangement to horse-chestnut - and the right colour flowers.
Think they are all trees just juveniles. Don't know what the third one is called but know I have got rid of it in several gardens.
Addict says trees, Nutcutlet says not trees... Eek. Any more ideas? x
1. Not a tree.
Not a juvenile tree.
Leaves and flowers are completely wrong for a Horse chestnut!
It is a late flowering shrub called Clethra.
It should have a spike of flowers on the end of every branch.
A nice shrub.
I like them.
I wondered where you'd got to Silver surfer. I thought you'd know
