    I grew this from a cutting, it has from time to time a small red/yellow flower (very odd shaped) no fruits or berry's its still young. It grows from one trunk (not multiple) and it drops its leave. I'm in Central FL.

    From the foliage it could be something in the pea family (Fabaceae).

    I have looked since last night and taking Ron B's advice, I had, at least a clue. So I goggled Leguminosae trifoliate, and after hundreds of photos I found Cajanus cajan. Since mine are still small, I'm not sure if its it or not but they look close.
