Hi all,
I've been trying to identify a small tree in my back garden for a few weeks now and can't for the life of me find out what it is!
It's perhaps around 6 metres tall, it has small shiny leathery leaves which are minutely serrated. It has bunches of small, slightly fragrant white flowers.
It looks similar to some other trees - blackthorn, black cherry, and a couple of others..
But I can't find an exact match!
If anyone could help, that'd be wonderful.
I've attached a couple of pictures (I think!)

Looks like an escallonia - possibly Escallonia 'Iveyi'

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
I agree with Pete ... Escallonia 'Iveyi'
Lovely scent

Thank you so much both of you. That really is a great help!
Much appreciated
You're very welcome - but I'll always wonder what take_01.wav sounded like
