Xenia?

I Guess but did not know that it was tree like...Thought more like a weed...that is why i was wondering.

Xenia can get out of control quickly if you don't keep it in check so in that respect it CAN be a "weed" I guess. But personally I like my pulsing Xenia. Just keep it trimmed like a good haircut and it will be worth your while.

It could be xenia, but to be honest it looks a bit more like cespitularia to me. Both are closely related, both are weeds, and both should be kept under close watch. But I really do love the xeniids.
Good luck and God bless you!
