So are we all.

Sometimes leaves alone, are not enough.

Could you please provide some info as to what state/area you live in, whether you are country or suburban, if the plants seem to be trees or shrubs.... and if you could, some shots of the actual things in situ would be great to get an idea of scale.

Possibly victorian box (Pittosporum undulatum), camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora), and glossy privet (Ligustrum lucidum) seedlings.

Hi,
Thanks for the responses. I live in a suburban area in S. California. I believe the first two are trees and the third one I am not sure but I am leaning toward shrub.
This one is about 2' tall
