Please Help me ID this tree....

[caspericus]

 Hello! I am trying to identify this tree.... I am in Southern California... I have seen this tree in Los Angeles and in the desert and mountains in San Bernadino and Big Bear... but no one can tell me the name!  The leaves give off almost a gray-green-silver color.  A very beautiful tree.  Someone suggested a variety of Acacia?  Another called it a "Mountain Nut" but there are no nuts or seeds or flowers on it.  Please help!

First pic looks like an olive to me.

Bark is wrong and the leaves are too white. Also olive has opposite leaves, more widely spaced.

I wanted to guess Russian olive, but as Mesquite stated the leaves don't seem right to me  ???.

Looked like this to me in the first photo. Olive tree in Croatia. No idea what kind.

It could be Russian olive, which is a completely different animal. I was speaking of true olive, like the kind you eat. ;D I don't know Russian olive well enough to be much help. Maybe.

That looks like the real thing. Kind of a ratty one, though. :(

I think it what is known as a mock olive, never bares fruit but has very small seeds that fall and often results in a multi trunk tree with many spindaly trunks.

It's definately the real thing. I have other pics of it with olives on it.
