Hm, looks like a ligustrum to me. They are an ok small, slow-growing landscape tree. They don't have nice flowers (tiny, white, smell terrible) just that nice, shiny dark green foliage. Very easy care.They take well to being pruned so you could cut back any branches that are crowding the powderpuff plant.

If you do think that corner is too crowded, that's the one I'd remove. Here are some pics of mine. (meh . . )
