Beginner Gardening: What the heck is this plant??, 0 by tweezak

My wife planted this in our little garden patch alongside our house and it has become huge! It is now about 5 feet tall and is starting to put out little spiky fruits. It also has white blossoms and very large dark green foliage. The leaves have a kind of nutty scent to them. The trunk is probably almost 4" in diameter at the base. I swear it was growing an inch a day at one point but appears to be spreading out now as it blooms.

Problem is...my wife doesn't know what it is. She thinks she got it from the local Asian grocery store and she thinks it is Vietnamese.

Whatever it is, it loves our climate and soil!!
