I got it at a Wal-Mart, it was so cute and small in it's 4inch pot, but it did not have a name, just said foilage on the sticker. Does anyone know what it is and how big it will get?

I could be way off, but it sort of reminds me of Murraya paniculata http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/102621/ I've seen this sold in the houseplant section at Home Depot before, so it wouldn't surprise me for Walmart to have it too.

The plant in your photo grows outdoors here, but, it is not frost hardy. It grows to 6-8' in the ground and seems to grow best in light shade. I has a fragrant flower, dull red fruit in early summer (birds like the berries) and seedlings show up in the garden once in awhile, but it is not a pest. I have heard it called jasmine. I could not find it in PlantPiles under 'jasmine'. It is not available at most nurseries here, but, I have seen it at HD in the past. If I find out what its botanical name is I will come back to this thread.

Dale, I think you and I may be talking about the same plant. One of the common names for Murraya paniculata is Orange jasmine or Orange jessamine.
