Carrotwood. Definitely from the formation and colouration of the leaf structure.
Pretty certain it's not a Magnolia, the budding is slightly different on the ends and the leafs of the Mag. don't have the orange tint when dried.
In concurrence with Ekka and Boa, will need some some slight pruning to the lower scaffold.
Ekka; with a rainforest species, how would some sort of extra watering implement suffice, the area surrounding the tree looks a bit arid and, does it not look a bit too close to the house? |
