Tree for ID - no flowers or seeds to help

Hi

I've been waiting for this tree to produce flowers or something to help me identify it, but nothing seems to be appearing.

Can anyone tell from these pictures?

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris

It is Pittosporum tenuifolium an antipodean tree that has small brown flowers in May/June. Yours is probably not quite large enugh to flower. Beloved of flower arrangers.

All the best

Yes, I've one of these in the garden- attractive shrubs with many cultivars, including purple + variegated leaved forms.
