Default Re: Can you help me identify this tree?

That top one is a lacebark elm. The shrub is an Osmanthus. I actually have one just like it and I think it is Osmanthus fortunei (not fragrans).
Photobucket
My Osmanthus usually has a lot more leaves on it, but I had just dug it up and moved it not long before this photo and it lost some leaves.

I just clicked on the link and saw that it was, indeed Osmanthus fortunei that they showed in the picture. Usually when you see any reference to any Osmanthus it is either O. fragrans or the variegated, holly-like one and I've only heard the name "Tea Olive" used with O. fragrans.
