I wonder if some of the experts here can please help me identify the

The first is a garden plant about four feet tall (at the moment!). The
second is a shrub about 15 feet tall. The third is a small tree.

Any ideas?

The 2nd is Escalonia,
You say it's a bush about 15 ft tall, that gives me a problem with the
3rd.
It is a form of Privet, I suspect the ordinary hedging form (Ligustrum
Ovalifolium, or Ligustrum Vulgare ) but I've never seen it growing as a

tree,
There is a form of Tree Privet (Ligustrum lucidum). but it has leaves
about 3 inches long and the tree can reach 30ft .

Flower shape of 2 is a better fit for Pyracantha than for Escallonia.


When have you seen Pyracantha flowers with a tube?

Also their leaves have a rounded tip and fine serrations, found on
Escalonia not Pyracantha
