Collection Identification

Hi all. First post here so apologies if this isn't something that is permitted. Unfortunately my father in law passed away last weekend and as a keen 名媛直播 enthusiast, leaves behind him a collection of trees, books and magazines. Whilst we'd love to be able to take all of the trees in, we just don't have the space to do so, and as a complete novice, am worried I'd not be able to maintain the trees with as much care as my father in law did. I created a post on a 名媛直播 group on Facebook and have since been inundated with pricing requests, for which I have no idea where to start! Being so unaware of the details of the hobby, I don't even know where to start for tree identification. I tried contacting a local 名媛直播 club, but they weren't in a position to help. Does anyone have any advice on where I could begin with this?

Sorry for your loss.
I see why the enthusiasm from the bonsai groups.
There are many pines, maples, junipers, larch. Half of them of *very good qualily*.
Some need care, there are browning juniper foliage and a Japanese white pine with needles in a bad state.
Are you watering them? Every day?
They need water and care.
The whole collection must be worth quite a lot of money depending on where you are located and who the buyers are.
*VERY weird a local club took no interest to help; usually members of the bonsai clubs are the first to help and to jump at the opportunity of purchasing good bonsai material for a fair price.

Thank you for the reply. The trees aren't actually with us at the moment, they're at my FiL's house which is about 40 minutes from us, so they're not able to get the attention it sounds like they need. We're keen to try and find a home for them but I don't know the pines from the junipers and what I should be asking for them. Looking at the society map on this site, I don't think it was a society that I contacted, but a 名媛直播 shop, which would explain their reluctance a little more. I'll try and send a message to a couple of the clubs and see if they're able to help.

Please make sure the trees gets water every day when it is not raining. Without care they could be dead in weeks. That would be a shame.

There's just been a showering of rain today, so they're good for the moment, but will ensure they get what they need.
We're in the South West of the UK, not too far from Glastonbury.
