All these trees to identify are growing on @manorvillemike 's property. Many were grown from seed and are now producing seed of their own.

No one tried to name Tree #3 so I will post it again.

I'm guessing it's a type of pine/coniferous tree.

No, sorry it's "deciduous". #4 is a young Tulip tree. Bark on the young trees look different than the older ones.

Tulip-trees are large, up to 35 m (115') in height and 1 m (39") in diameter, with tall straight trunks that dominate the forest canopy.

When open-grown, as in a park, the crown is often broad and irregular.

Young trees have smooth grey-green bark, striped with pale fissures.

Wow, I was way off --never would have guessed a tulip tree. Guess I need to pay more attention. Thanks for the interesting info

Some trees are hard enough to identify with their leaves on. Without leaves it can be hard.
