Wondering if anyone might know the name of this small tree / shrub? It's evergreen and flowers in early April in the PNW. Thanks in advance.

Cheers, Barrie.

For me looks like Laurus nobilis

Thanks ... I realized I too had a Laurus nobilis  on my property. I checked it and it's only budding at this point and the flower buds appear to be spaced much further apart, not clustering like the tree I found. The leaves on mine had the serrated margins but where somewhat wider. Crushed leaves had a very similar aroma. From some of the research I was able to do, the possible ID could very well be Laurus azorica which more closely resembles the characteristics in the tree I found. I also ruled out Umbellularia californica but I have to admit it has some similar traits, although I can't see serrated leaf margins on Umbellularia californica.

So does Laurus azorica seem a more likely candidate?

Cheers, Barrie.
