Can anyone identify these plants?

[ineptgrappling]

Not BU as have previously found this forum to be a super speedy source of plant identification expertise ...

The first one looks like sumac and the second looks to me like bamboo. Both of which are tenacious and difficult to get rid of.

Or the first one could be elder? Does it have slightly furry stems?

Thanks mycelialnetwork. No, not furry stems.

2nd one defintely looks like bamboo. It's a total pain, my neighbour has it and its forever encroaching through the fence!

Thanks - will go and pull out the bamboo right now!

Any more thoughts on the other one?

Bamboo is expensive and not all are invasive.unless it's Hugh and spreading I would leave it,they are rather beautiful.

My plant app is bringing up Ash for the 1st one.

Download the app called 'picture this' it's really good, identifies most plants

First one is not ash

1st one could be a Walnut? The squirrels keep planting them in my garden, they keep springing up everywhere.

Ground elder?

1st = walnut
2nd = bamboo
