More than a passing resemblance to loquat (Eriobotrya japonica)

I am not educated in cultivated plants. I stick to plants that are
native to particular biomes. However my first impression is that it is
either some sort of a rubber plane or a rhodadengron. In Asia these
plants get very large.

Monique, I, too, thought loquat at first look at the leaves, but the
terminal bud yells "Rhododendron!" so I think that's the direction to go.

I agree rhododendron is the way to go.

My loquat has leaves that are much more wrinkled than in the OP's
photo.
