Without fruit or flowers, these are tough to distinguish. Corrections welcome. Location: FL
#1-4 appear to be the same species. Stems and branches are without hair. Buds at the petiole base have a distinct look. Im going with Sweetbay Magnolia.
#5-7 rusty hairs and stem and petioles. rusty hair on underside of leaves which rubs off. Leaves not as pointed. Cone bud at end of stem. Magnolia grandiflora? Redbay?
#8 im most sure this is Redbay. It has the look of other confirmed redbay ive found.
