Gardening: Tree Identification East Texas

I live in Deep East Texas, right on the Louisiana line. Can anybody help me identify this tree and it's fruit or nut? There are no leaves on it right now. They only stand about waist high.

the house we have plantings - one side is the shade garden & the other is a veggie garden. Some of the native plants we used are Sage (a couple of varieties), Manzanita, Ceanothus, Canyon Prince, Matilija Poppies, Wooly Blue Curls and Coyote Mint. Hope this all makes sense!

Gardening: Could You Please Help Me Identify This Shrub?

This has small tear drop type leaves and grows pretty pink flowers that turns brown and fall off. ...»

A few years ago, I began a garden partly due to boredom and the other because I loved looking at the gardens in Savannah, Ga. Anyhow, I just planted all types of flowers and shrubs and didn't document them so I never knew what was growing in my gardens when asked. Now, I take pictures of them and document their names. This is the final one in my garden that doesn't have a name. Could you please help me identify it? Thank you:-D

    like an azalea and the leaves also look like azalea.

    I have a huge boxwood right at the corner of my house/sidewalk - impossible to avoid it! It definitely does stink!
