Not sure yet, but the guesses are off. Bark pic would help. Can you tell if it has spreading roots or tap root? You are FL, so that should rule out a lot of temperate species. Does it flower/fruit?
ETA: It looks citrus-like to me, but I've only raised citrus trees to a foot or so. |

You are in Florida, oak tree is the standard 'developer plants a tree in the front yard' type Live, willow and water oaks are different from the standard white and red. They do have unlobed leaves, but I don't think the OP's tree is a live oak. Leaves are too long. He'd also see acorns on the ground, most likely, if it were one. My tree book is at home. It's real good at deducing the type of tree by asking a series of questions. I'll try to get to it tonight if I can. |

Looks like a laurel oak. They grow fast but don't live a real long time. They also drop a lot of branches.
