I decided to let the tree stay for the time being, whatever it is. I killed the ivy off the poor thing and it turns out to be a good climbing tree. Those are valuable. Thanks again, all.

It definitely looks like the Japanese lingustrum. I will probably take it out long-term, but for now I will save it from the ivy. :) Bill and Elizabeth–Thanks for your help.
