Definitely not a magnolia. Might be loquat. I think loquat leaves are have
more texture to the leaves and are usually less dense with the limbs. Where
are the botanists when you need them?

No, I'm pretty sure this isn't bay or magnolia. We've got plenty of those
around here and the leaves are always glossy and they all have the big
white
flowers you mentioned. The leaves on this little tree aren't glossy at
all.
From a distance the tree looks brownish-green. Someone mentioned Loquat,
and
I think this may very well be what it is.

These are getting more and more popular here in GA as landscaping
plants.
Can anyone tell me what it is?
