Hi all..If the ID for this here tree is what I think of it I may have to get Admin to help me out on re naming a post as a particular species has had a bit of a run of late.
It comes from a self grown I found hiding under my big Magnolia...same area that a few other little trees that I have grown for a while with I'm now thinking are another species altogether.. If so then I'd be more impressed with my project than I am now.

As a side note the trees remained green over Winter but that said I know some juvenile types remain 'evergreen' and become deciduous as they mature.
A huge deciduous specimen is in my neighbors yard and was googling that when a light was turned on. :o

Steve.

My initial reaction is it looks like lily pily but the photos are so out of focus that I can't get a good enough look at them to confirm. Lily pilly does self seed so is possible.
Another possibility, given that it is a self sown seedling, would be broad leaf privet which has similar leaf shape.

I'm sure there are lots of other similar leaf trees and shrubs. Those are just 2 that occurred to me given such terrible photos.

Yes shibui.. I'm thinking that my initial ID was a Privet.
Was actually hoping for a Crepe but in one swoop I think there is not a lot of need to go much further.
My little forest 'remains as is' ...PRIVET'S :reading:
Thanks
Steve
