ID for some guy named "Spiros" ?
Is he a Macedonian who fled to Australia
Just kidding !! My dad is from Athens.
So when I see a name like Spiros or Savalas, it reminds me of Greece where my father is from.
That tree is not likely a magnolia, but at first glance, it reminded me of a few of the magnolia trees in our area that have larger longer leaves.
Many of the magnolia trees (not evergreen) have a form like the tree in your photo.
