My grandma came over last season and she told me what the big climber was. But I can't for the life of me remember what it is and nor can she when I explain it badly to her.
The other two small trees I assume, just popped up this spring in a pot i had left outside over the autumn and winter.
Thanks in advance!

Your climber is a Russian vine (Fallopia baldschuanica)

The left one in the pot with two looks like a grapevine?

Thank you @trethew
I wish @pinkywoo, unfortunately we don't have grapevines around to seed from

Ahh, thought you maybe had grape burying toddlers!

Bahahaha! They don't last that long in our house!
Caught her picking pink raspberries and trying to get past the strawberry netting earlier this morning!

The little one looks like a flowering currant and the bigger one an Ash.
The Russian vine is often called ‘ mile a minute ‘ creeper, with good reason.
It can quickly swamp everything.

Not sure it’s Ash. They invariably demonstrate a strong leader, which is absent here. And the leaves don’t look quite right. Not sure what it is though.
