I moved to a new house and have a handful of plants I can't identify, but these two trees have topped my curiosity. Does anyone recognize them?

Magnolia, maybe?

Good growing,
Mike

Can't be certain but tree #1 kind of looks like a loquat tree (erioboytra japonica). Won't know until it produces flowers and yellowish/orange fruit.

If it is I envy you because the fruit tastes pretty good lol

I think it is a loquat tree. Thanks! Not sure about the other one though. I've never seen box-shaped flowers.

Same. That second tree is a mystery to me as well.

The last tree is a Persimmon. Try eating one when the fruit is still hard, it's an interesting experience.

Haha. Yes it is quite an experience.

Both fruits I've never tasted. Well I'm definitely not trying it while the fruit is hard now...lol.

Thanks guys!

Actually after looking at some photos, I have seen flowers like these. On my blueberry bushes! Sure enough, they're in the same family.

Can you identify these trees?
