I vote for virginia creeper on the first one. Be careful with it, it wants to take over the world. That being said, I do let some grow on my fences...The birds love to nest in it, and it is quite beautiful in the fall. It will climb up trees and smoother them. They claim that the majority of the "green" we see in the Adirondacks is really virginia creeper...don't know much about the little "tree". I tried to plant a few in my "wee garden" thought they looked like mini- trees, but they died. Enjoy discovering the mysteries of your new property!!
