Hello! I need an ID on this little tree. I discovered this plant in a corner when it was about 2 feet tall and thought it was or could be an avacado seed I'd planted and forgot about. I moved it to it present location two years ago not really expecting much but it's sure growing like crazy now. Makes nice shade for the patio but is dangerously close to the side of the stairs. Never lost any leaves this winter and even had a tad of color in the fall. Any idea what kind of tree this is? I'd kinda like to know before it gets so big it heaves the stairs rail and is too big for me to handle cutting down. I have close up's of the leaves and trunk if anyone needs to see that.
