Anybody know what the hell this tree is? I just want to see if it will damage my foundation being so close to my house

yes the second picture is a close up of the leaves. But they are flat, medium sized leaves and some turned red. The tree also has acorn shaped seeds on it, I don't know if there seeds are flowers I haven't seen any yet. I was hoping it was just a bush that hadn't been pruned .Lol

Looks like a shrub, possibly a Rhododendron. Its not an oak, judging by those leaf arrangements.

Does it get little white flowers on it? Or any flowers at all? It looks like a sweet olive to me.

It would be seasonal. Do a Google image search and compare

It definitely looks like a sweet olive. If it is a sweet olive is there a way to keep the roots from damaging my slab,pruning etc.?

Dig it up and plant something else. It's too close to your house anyways.

Not a sweet olive. Its a Japanese Blueberry. Definately too close to the house. Ive seen those get 30' + before. Big roots too.

If you can get enough root out with it, you could probably save it. Gonna need a big bed or plant out in the yard somewhere.

Deffinatly a jap blueberry , plant is to close to home. I wouldn't bother transplanting it. I'm a landscape designer by trade.
