I think I answered this on DG an hour or so ago? Dracaena fragrans (corn plant) I think.

My D. Lemon-Lime bloomed in winter two years ago and was very fragrant, I added a note to my picture that it smelled like a Dutch hyacinth.

It is Dracaena fragrans. Depending on the climate they can grow fairly tall, some of mine are over 5 metres. The fragrance is very strong at night.

It's a cottonwood. Looks like Eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides) to me. They are very fast growing trees that can get huge. I like them personally, but don't know how they rate as a yard tree.

Looks like a broad-leaf privet, also called tree privet or Japanese privet. They can get up to 30 feet tall. They are invasive and not good in hurricanes. If you don't need it, I'd take it out.
