What's the name of this plant?
 
Looks nice outside the store, I'd like to plant one in my front yard.
Thanks,

I cannot tell for sure without the flowers but if it is an Oleander, do not get one if you are going to plant it in an area where there may be brush fires. The fumes from it when it burns are deadly. :2239:

The leaves look a lot like eucalyptus

I think Tony got it.. Oleaner is more like a scrub with flowers (they look cool (neighbors are pink))
Hope there's no panda's roaming around.. lol :^)

I don't believe it's Oleander or eucalyptus.

They have Oleander planted all over San Diego. Oleander is one of the most poisonous plants in the world

It looks nothing like oleander to me. I think it might be a species of willow.

Well, I don't think it's oleander, I had oleander in my yard before.
I also don't think it's eucalyptus, I believe eucalyptus leaves are curved, kinda like a sickle, these leaves are straight. Also, eucalyptus has a nice fragrance when crushed. These leaves don't. The "willow" opinion may be on the right track.

Thanks,

I think they have a plant called Bottle Bush, or Fire Cracker Bush something to that effect. Do they get red flowers?

I think that's it , Greg. Oleander leaves aren't as pointy. And there growth pattern isn't like that either.

Well - I will go with eucalyptus - doesn't look like any bottle brush I have seen - unless it is some new cultivar. Crush a leaf and see if it is fragrant!
