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.)
shrub-like tree, flowering fruit
large, peeling trunks.

What interesting trees! Good job on these IDs. Have you tried to ID the Eucalyptus using page 56?
