Default Re: Help please. What kind of tree is this???

Looks a lot like Broad-Leaf Privet to me.....
The leaves, when crushed, are quite brittle so they "crack" rather than bruise...and smell a bit like lawn clippings..... (opposite leaf arrangement)
The Privet is a weed here in Australia...Ligustrum lucidum...originally from China.
