Can you give the length of the leaf? I'm not familiar with your coins. The stem, buds and bark are Yew like. Any chance it's a Podocarpus? Are there any in the area?

It's very handsome.

They are generally 3-4" long and alternate. Not aware of any Podocarpus close by but birds

could have brought it from afar. This one has also been grazed by deer a few times.

Looks as though it might be an Oleander.

Pretty certain it isn't Oleander. Apart from other features oleander leaves are in opposite whorls.

Had me thinking Thevetia. (Cascabela thevetia might be a more recent name adoption.)

It looks like oleander to me .

Thevetia is a warmer zone plant afaik. The leaf arrangement doesn't match oleander.

100% an Asian Podocarpus seedling. They are spotted somewhat frequently in NC gardens that have them, but I would hardly say they are invasive at this point.
