My wife (pics on OnlyFans) and I disagree on what kind of tree this is along our fence line, and need the help of you fine scholars to avoid marriage counseling/her poisoning my Mountain Dew.

I say Ligustrum, as I can’t keep the tiny white blossoms out of the pool in March/April. She says it’s a Photinia.

Help us settle this.

Is it not a Camellia? Leaves sure look like it.

Look up Schima Superba and see if that's it.

I wish it was! These flowers are huge clusters of tiny white flowers, like a ligustrum.

Osmanthus and most viburnums have opposite leaves. Photina does not. I cant tell from photos if this does or not.
