probably no less than 15 years old)

6) Fluffy buds are greenish white but open pure white & just slightly
wrinkly.

This sounds like a PJM.

This shrub turns neither maroon nor coppery in winter, but stays green.
"PJM White" also starts with a pinkish bud that opens white instead of a
greenish white bud that opens white. It does somewhat resemble a
small-leaf Mezzitt of some kind, but I may have to resign myself to never
knowing exactly what it is, too few distinguishing factors other than
blooming a bit earlier than most smaller leafed white trumpet-singles.
