Just a guess, but it looks a lot like my avocado trees.

Ante are you asking me? This link says they can get to 80 feet! (though usually less) :)
AVOCADO Fruit Facts (http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/avocado.html)
I have seen some enormous trees in California. They are the experts for avocados. That link is from the California Rare Fruit Growers. ~J
Ante , if it is an avocado tree it could in fact get huge. There are several varieties and I recently saw one on my LA trip that was taller than a 2 story house. I dont know the variety but they were the huge avocados we rarely ever see in the stores around this area of the country. Tasted good to me though.....:ha:
