What tree is this? Cant identifyit

[MichaelW]

Was hoping you would be able to help me.
What tree is this?

I had recently planted seeds which I thought were Pinus Densiflora and this started grow but I have no idea what it is?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It’s a Japanese red pine

Strangest looking "pine" I've ever seen. Welcome to both of you. Maybe we can get this figured out.

Similiar to Caryopteris but not blue enough.

Perhaps a willow?

Laurel?

Apologies....I was translating the sign that is in the pot. Definitely not a pine in the photo.

Leaf silvery beneath? Just a guess: Autumn-olive, or other Elaeagnus spp

Cananga odorata? Not sure what the tree-scene is like in South Africa or what the zoning is, but this might be a candidate if for no other reason than to follow the Asian origins.
