What Tree Is This?

[Evergreen19]

Hi,

I'm doing an "Adopt A Tree" assignment, but the tree I chose to adopt is one that I can't identify!

Here is a picture of my tree:



And here is a closer picture of the kind of leaf that is on my tree:



Any help with this is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Looks like some kind of Ficus to me, maybe a weeping fig, but I can't see your second photo to have a closer look at the leaf.

The link must be broken or something. Here is a new link to the picture of the leaf:

Just to let you know I can see the leaf picture fine, but im afraid I cant ID it for you.

Hi Evergreen, First I thought it might be an evergreen Magnolia like M. grandiflora, then thought it maybe a cherry laurel ( prunus laurocerasus) a variety known as 'Bruantii' looks close but still not sure.
Good Luck with the assignment. Tbird+

I don't think a cherry laurel ... what are all the little white bobbles on the overview? In what part of the country is this? Could be helpful!

Looks like Chinese Privet, Ligustrum lucidum, which is not that uncommon in London as an ornamental tree. It does well on dry +compacted soil, is tolerant of pollution.

Alright, here are some close up pictures I took of the leaf arrangements. It kind of confused me even more because the leaves don't seem to be growing in any particular pattern.

My first thought when I saw your photo was Spurge laurel (Daphne laureola) but I'm far from sure.

wouldnt be from the camelia family would it ?.
