Lots of non-CPs need an ID (DUW)

Hey guys. I would like to get some IDs on these plants. I apologize in advanced for some of the pictures. For some, I could not get into the area where certain plants were located (fenced off), so I had to take shots from far away.

Thanks!


A:

B: This one resprouts every late summer through fall and blooms late October through November. Dies back after hard frosts hit.

D: Indoor plant that loves the shade.

PB190057.jpg




E: Very invasive, fast growing tree. Deciduous and produces copious amounts of seed. There are small seedlings all over the proximity of this one mature tree.

F: This one make tons of berry-like fruit this time of year. The birds love them.

PB190089.jpg




G: Very tall and frequently used in landscaping.

PB190080.jpg




H: Possible conifer. This one was fenced off and I could not get close. Tolerates very hot summers, serious drought, and very cold winters.

I: Nerium oleander-like plant, however the flowers are different than the typical oleanders found here.

A. is a juniper either Juniperus chinensis or J. virginiana. Very common around SoCal. The "berries" are actually small cones.

C & F are very common around SoCal too. I see them all the time but don't know what they are. They sure make a mess from the flowers and berries.
 
The indoor one reminded me of the yucca species...not sure which one...you can do a bit of searching on yucca and maybe you will find it...or may be a specie related to it
 
F = the genus is Pyracantha (fire thorn) in the rose family actually.
 
You could have most of these ID'd at a *good* plant nursery.
 
B. Solanum not sure what sp.

C. Callistemon not sure what sp.

D. Dracena fragrans

G. Cupressus sempervirens

H. first thoughts are Hakea or Grevillea but I can't tell
 
Wow! Thanks so much for the help guys. This really helps. :)
 
B. some species of nightshade (solanum)
D. Seems to me like a common corn plant

B. Eggplant... I'd recognized those flowers anywhere (Solanum melongena)
C. Australian bottlebrush tree... lots of those around here (Callistemon sp.)
D. Dracena fragrans... common and easy-to-grow houseplant
F. Cotoneaster sp. ... we have one in our yard

B. Solanum not sure what sp.

Certainly NOT Solanum pyracanthum! :-))
I have one of those.

NOW you have me interested. I can look tID what's leftover, but it may be a few days. It's crazy at work.

Hmm... Plant B has never made any fruit (or at least not any fruit I've seen).

This one is in my back yard, and I've never planted anything where that one currently is and resprouts. Like I mentioned, the plant resprouts in late summer every year in the same little area. It grows pretty tall (over 4 feet) and flowers in the fall until the frost kills it. I guess it could be possible that the flowers are pollinated and set/drop seed. However, I have never seen fruit (let alone eggplants!). Once the plant dies down, the woody-like stems are left over and I never see it again until the next summer.
