Hiya folks,

Curious if anyone can ID this plant that I recently adopted.  Thank you.

Second the syzygium but the growth habit also looks a bit like garcinia. I’d say syzygium  :)
Cheers!

I think you cane rule out at least a thousand syzygiums straight away.

The growth pattern does resemble Garcinia in some ways.  Not a real obvious ID though.  Curious one!

the new growth looks like malay apple but these leaves are a bit pale, thinner and slightly  different. maybe sunburn?

Not sunburned.  Seems that the leaf texture is also more pronounced than Malay apple.
