    Hello,
    This tree is growing in my backyard in Belize. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the name of it is? Also, I was told that it repels mosquitoes. Is this true?
    Thank-you!

    Any photos of fruit or flowers? Or do you recall any details?

    These seeds grow on it occasionally.
