    Hello there,

    can anyone here tell us what we have here...? We planted it from a seed like 1,5 years ago, could be some exotic fruit...unfortunately we cannot remember...now we are dying to know...

    Many thanks in advance

    Nothing exotic about, either grapefruit or lemon tree. Definately citrus.

    Interesting leaves. The tree might be a species of Inga. Some possibilities: I. edulis, Ice Cream Bean;
    I. feuillei, Pacay.

    Not here
    Citrus do not have compound leaves with leaflets arranged along a straight rachis.
