    Hello all,

    I'm new here, have problem identify a random plant which is growing in my garden recently, please help to identify.

    From time to time there are some random plants found growing in my garden, some time ago I found this plant growing but have no idea what it is. I've been told it's a coffee tree....not sure about that. It grows very fast and have big leaves, I want to keep it but since I don't know what it is, I don't know how to take care of it.

    Does everyone has any idea if that's a coffee tree? or something else? Any idea is appreciated, many thanks!

    Chee

    Coffea are supposed to have opposite leaves, and these photos show alternate leaves, so not coffee. Sorry, I can't tell you what it is, though.

    I've corrected my spelling of Coffea, in case you were going to look it up.
