Glad to hear you both enjoyed your holiday. I must try Turkey
sometime, though the next trip will be back to Cyprus. The first of
your pics is Pittosporum tobira. That growth is typical of plants
growing in hot climates. The second and third are of Grevillea
robusta in the more mature stages and the final one is Ficus
binnendijkii - sometimes also called 'Alii'.

You are a wonder! We thought first of P. tobira but we've only seen P.
tobira as hedging in hot climates such as the Balearics.

Sorry - other than grown as it is here, I should have said!
