No, I am still here. Thanks guys for your all suggestions replies. To be honest I am more on the side of Photinia than on Camelia. It is hard to say, they have never saw any blooming on those trees and leaves do look red . But in any case I think they will keep those trees for now, they will trim but that bush (as kiminpl called blob) they probably will remove it and plant small tree as Yardvaark(9A) mentioned. Yardvaark(9A) Thanks for your design and suggestions. We like the idea of multi-trunk tree in front of the blank wall. As biondanonima said it is weird layout. The walkway leads to the driveway/garage that's correct. So thats why there are no reason for them to walk directly out the door and out to the street. And that's why they don't need walkway from the sidewalk directly to the front door. So the idea is to make this entrance more closed from the public. To plant plants in order cover the ugly layout and huge wall, make some privacy. Because the entrance is facing the main road and it is a corner house. There are used to be two huge oak trees in front of the house. When they moved in they had to cut it because they were dead. Thats why that wall look very weird. Here is the picture from 2008. Here is the picture from 2016, you still can see sign on the grass from oak trees I probably should have mention that this is corner house and facing main road. But the real entrance leads from driveway. One more picture:

Yes, it is Crepe Myrtle, as everyone has said. They love full sun, hot conditions and plentiful water. Make sure you specify that you want a tree, not a shrub, as some species are shrubs. The tree in your picture has obviously been pruned heavily. Some people like to do this. I personally love them left to grow as high as they like. The high flowers look lovely, as do the mottled trunks.

Anything besides the timing to indicate that particular cultivar? And not another of the many kinds of Japanese cherry? (Glen Cove should indicate the geographic area, as that will be pertinent).

Thanks y’all! Interesting that it’s likely a New Zealand lemonade...do you happen to know about how long to takes the lemons to ripen? We’ve have them for about 6 months and they are still green. @Dave thanks! I googled more images and it does appear to be leaf miner. We will probably try some neem oil and hopefully the leaves come back strong next year.
