I have a few of these growing along my driveway and am looking to thin the less decorative trees like pines and sweetgum, keeping the dogwoods, a few oaks, tulip trees. Just curious which group to put them in. Thanks!

Looks like Quercus virginiana, Live Oak, or Quercus laurifolia, Laurel oak to me. Do they ever have acorns on them?
I thought they looked like that or a willow oak. Also look like a wax myrtle. I haven't noticed any acorns yet. They are only about 4' tall now. But kind of growing more like a bush. I will clear around them and see if I can train them straight up.
Are you sure these aren't rhododendrons?
I would have noticed if they bloomed a lot of flowers, I don't think it's those. These are also growing wild. They were not planted
Yep, the flowers would have been hard to miss.

Was going to say cherry laurel , is it green in winter? It would bloom in early spring too !
Ok, I have confirmed they are wax myrtles. So far I have isolated some of those, a tulip tree, red maple, dog wood, 2 species of elm, a live oak or 2, and persimmon trees. Now just have to finish clearing the pines and sweet gums. Thanks for the help guys!
