2 Street Trees Keying

Hi! For this keying I decided to walk around and find trees in my neighborhood that I had not observed or keyed yet. I have realized that most of the trees in my neighborhood are similar, but I managed to find some new trees. The first tree that I am going to key is a Siberian Elm:

1. Key to groups: 1', 2', 3', 5', 8', 9', 13', 14', 15'
   Group- 11: 1', 2., 3', 4', 5'
   Key to specific elm: 1., 2'
   Species and book page: Ulmus spp., Siberian Elm, page 117

The next tree that I found is called Privets. They have a lot of pretty flowers and I noticed a ton of bees on it when I was taking these pictures. I also thought that the leaves were pretty as they were almost outlined in a lighter color.

1. Key to groups: 1', 2', 3', 5', 8.
   Group- 7: 1', 2', 5', 7', 9', 10', 12', 13', 15',16', 17', 19', 20'
   Species and book page: Calocedrus decurrens, Glossy Privet, page 5

I feel like I have definitely gotten the hang of keying and am noticing a better sense of identifying trees on my own.
