Hmm... leaves look like mangifera but the leaf arrangement is unfamiliar to me.
Já, ég er að rækta suðrænar plöntur á Íslandi. Nei, ég er ekki klikkuð. Jæja, kannski...

Maprang?

Ooh, good guess - mangolike leaves but arranged alternately. But does Maprang have that sag at the end of new growth characteristic of the above pictures?

Anyway, it sure looks like something in the mango/cashew family.

New leaves on maprang are distinct purple colored. It's not maprang.

The shape is quite like maprang but clearly it is different in quite a few ways.The trifoliate leaves and new stems look distinctive and I can't pick what it is.Even if the foliage looksa bit 'mango-like' I doubt it is Mangifera.

I think your tree is from the soapberry family. It could be something related to Longan or lychee. rambutan etc.

It does look like a longan/lychee relative.

Do we have any clues on where the tree/seed came from or what the possibilities are for what it might be?
