It looks like Escallonia to me (Gooseberry). The trunk is usually very rough looking, oval leaves with toothed margins. If I remember correctly the sap had a characteristic smell that was sticky sweet, and the branches were quick groiwng and brittle.

Escallonia x exoniensis
Pink Princess Escallonia
