Umbellularia californica [Walker Ridge]

A large growing evergreen tree, to 30-40 ft or more, often with weeping foliage, the leathery leaves undercoated with soft, light-colored pubescence, making them particularly attractive and lighter in appearance than typical. Leaves are aromatic like their true bay relatives. Small yellowish, spring flowers are followed by a round, green fruit. Full sun for the best form, good drainage, and little summer water once established. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
