Week 5 Keyed Trees

Using the Key Guide in "A Californian's Guide to the Trees Among US" by Matt Ritter, I was able to identify these two trees found in my neighborhood. These are the steps I took that brought me to my conclusions:

Tree #1:

1’, 2’, 3’, 5’, 8. – Group 7: Trees with simple, opposite or whorled leaves.
7: 1’, 2, 3. Pineapple Guava (Feijoa sellowiana)

Tree #2:

1’, 2’, 3’, 5’, 8. – Group 7: Trees with simple, opposite or whorled leaves.
7: 1’, 2’, 5’, 7’, 9. Eucalypts, Gum trees (Eucalyptus spp.)
