| I got this tree from a friend who mentioned it was propagated from seeds brought from India. It was supposed to be a pomagranate tree but the flowers don't look like it. The tree however does look like a pomagranate tree, small oblong leaves w/ thorns at base of each leaf cluster. Does anyone know what this might be. I'm not sure how to post multiple photos but I will try to post at lease one below.
Thanks Meixue |

| It looks like a Pyracantha sp., but not sure which, maybe P. rogersiana. I think there are 1 or 2 of the species native to the Indian Himalaya, though most are Chinese. They are not considered tropical plants. |

| Wanted to update on this. This morning I found out what this plant is. It's a Holly. I'm sad about this because I traded my passiflora for it. Oh well. I guess it was an honest mistake. It really does look like a pomagranat when it's not in bloom. Thanks Meixue |

| I think it is much more likely that it is a Pyracantha. It looks nothing like any Holly I have ever seen. |

| It may be a yaupon holly, Ilex vomitoria. |

| Cannot be Ilex vomitoria, or any Ilex sp. for that matter. You can clearly see, near top of pic, that flowers are in corymbs terminating lateral shoots. As far as I know they are in axillary clusters in all Ilex spp. Believe bahia and me, it's a Pyracantha! |
