Answer 1

To help identify a tree there are keys that walk you through the characteristics like leaf placement and shape. Tree height, growth patterns and fruit type are often important. Even the appearance and color of the bark can help you be sure of your tree's ID.

The sites are self explanatory but limited in scope, if your tree is unusual you may need a book or to post a photo to a site.

Answer 2

Here is an URL of trees in New York City:  http://www.nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park...

It is only a list but has both common names and scientific names.  Using the descriptions perhaps you can identify the tree(s) you have.
