ID please…

Due to the long time it took for those seeds to sprout, I simply lost the label and can't remember what it is. Seems to be a garcinia ? Thanks for your help !

They look kinda familiar and with the multiple shoots are a bit like Syzygium. They seem a bit small for malacense.My only Platonia came up a bit like that as well but they could be larger as well.

Are you waiting for a name that you want to hear? Haha!
The first photo does look like a rose apple to me.
Garcinia leaves are more hard and thick and round I think. I don't grow garcinia so I'm just making an observation from photos and plants I've seen.

That was my first guess also Saff but they seem smaller.

maybe the seeds were smaller?

or it's a different variety with smaller seeds?

still it looks most like S. malaccense

Okay, perfect, I don't know why I thought it could be a garcinia indeed. I can't remember to have planted seeds of Z.malaccense. However I have planted so many different fruit species over the last two years, that I might have planted some Z.malaccense as well. Anyway, one will know soon or later ! Thank you very much for your help and sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated !
