I'm sure it's probably a common landscaping tree that just volunteered
to grow there, but I don't know what it is.

It has dull pale green accuminate, opposite decussate leaves, with
smooth edges and sparse pinnate venation.

The leaves tend to fold upwards in the center and curl downwards at
the point.

The bark is grey with very fine little white bumps. The branches are
growing up like a menorah and I think it will be a tall tree but not
very wide.

I don't know if it's a deciduous tree or not, I never noticed it
shedding its leaves in the winter.

Thanks for your help.

Where do you live? Except for the pale leaves, sounds as if it could be
Ligustrum, which is terribly weedy.
