Can someone tell me what kind of bush this is?

I have one in front of my house that has not done well. Several of my neighbors have the exact same ones and they are twice the size of mine (new construction neighborhood so all planted at same time). I think it is because mine gets baked in the sun and theirs all get more shade.

I'd like to confirm that is the cause and maybe move it to another part of my property that has less sun.

Thanks,
Justin

 

Don't have a clue, it doesn't look at all familiar. Nothing like that grows around here in Zone 4 Wisconsin .

 

I'm not familiar with with it either :'( It's pretty though and your photos are great!

You might want to snip a piece off and take it to a local nursery. They'll know what it is and what's best for it

 

Its leaves remind me of a gardenia but the little white bloom shows its not.Like statsmom you could find out fron a nursery or wait for bethie ,cajunbelle, toni or zuzupetal's.One of them should know.

 

I also thought of Gardenia, until I saw the little white flowers. Then I am thinking some kind of shrub. I would cut a little piece off and take it to the agricultural extension office (if you have one where you live) or a nursery and let them ID it. Or our resident pros... Cajunbelle, Zuzu,Toni or Bethie.

 

I can't see any blooms. Does it bloom, and what do they look like? My first thought was some kind of Prunus laurocerasus. I think they're called common laurel in English?

 

Thanks Droopy. I think you're right. I looked that one up and I think that is what I have.

Thanks everyone!
