I need help identifying some shrub-like trees! I have attached 3 images of the 3 major different types that inhabit the area. The location is Merritt Island, Florida. Specifically Zip Code 32815 at Kennedy Space Center. The photos are right next to the crawler-way path.

In the images, I\'m seeing 3 different shrub-like tree types. Most appear to be from 15 to 25 feet high.

Red - Appears to be the dominate type. Looks like a huge bush.
Blue - A bit rare, they seem to go together in clumps. They almost look evergreen with potentially smaller needles as leaves.
Yellow - Odd, they\'re smaller and may or may not be similar to the others above. They don\'t have leaves.

A third image attached with no identification/circling shows the Red and Yellow types a bit closer. Note the structure of the branches!

I understand that without the leaves, these may be hard to identify. But even just the type of tree that looks similar would be close enough!
