What is this? (flowers, tree, spring, leaves)

[Fontucky]

It blooms once a year, is green all year, and the flowers have a very sweet floral scent. It also puts off some kind of a roundish seed pod, about 1/2" in diameter.





Any assistance appreciated.

I would assume Pittosporum tobira. Japanese Mock Orange.

I second this but it's the biggest one I have ever seen. It looks as if it was never pruned.

Pittosporum ...nice blooming one!!

Thanks everyone. Pittosporum it is then. I've never pruned it in the 6 years I've lived here. I just give it a little water in the Summer and wait for the payoff in the Spring. It's very drought tolerant and makes it through our scorching (100-114) Summers with very little water.

Now I'll post one more for ID.

Anyone know what this tree could be? It goes naked every late Fall, early Winter.

The trunk reminds me of an old Modesto Ash, but the leaves look a bit too 'serrated', and I am not sure if they are in S. California. I grew up with 2, but my home was in-between Stockton and Sacramento. The leaves on a Modesto Ash turn to a pretty yellow and then drop...

Let's see what others say.
