I had a pot out on my balcony that I had planted green onions in and I also used it for compost. This grew out of there about 6 months ago and I eventually replanted it in it's own pot hoping I'd be able to figure out what it was. It's grown quite slowly, does anyone know what it might be? I'm thinking a fruit tree of some sort possibly?

MMGardener writes: If the leaf, when crushed, smells like citrus, then you've got a citrus plant of some sort. At first glance, it looks like a gardenia. Posted: 8:35 pm on March 13th

Later on I will be able to determine by the leaves exact plant name. Need to see whole leave in maturity. Posted: 9:29 pm on December 21st
