Looks like Ligustrum japonicum.

Yes. Too large growing and vigorous for that planting site. Replace with something like dwarf box cultivars or lower growing kinds of evergreen azaleas.

Just so you know it's spelled "camellia", after George Joseph Kamel, a Jesuit who traveled in Asia in the 17th century.

Great thanks!!

A nursery which can't tell the difference between opposite and alternate branching is not a reliable source of information.

Don't, of course know what was meant in this particular instance but on this web site "the nursery" is often actually a warehouse store plant department.
