My M-I-L has had a tree planted by neighbours within 1.5 m from her house
wall, over 2 years it has leapt up to about 4m tall. We are trying to id
the tree, unfortunately I've not had the camera to take a photograph so can
anybody give us a clue from :

Leaves - long(12in - 300mm) narrow (2in - 50mm) dark green tapering to a
point, edges not serrated but slightly wavy (above and below plane of the
leaf) distinct central vein ridged below leaf.
Branches - upright at top weeping lower down with alternate leaves hanging
down
Trunk - smooth light grey

Any ideas from the experts out there

Cheers
