A germinated seed and don't know what the plant is #347428

Asked July 27, 2016, 9:55 PM EDT

I was on a walk in the big island of Hawaii and found what I thought was an avocado seed and gerrminated it in water now I have a plant growing but it's not an avocado the seed was very large and was shaped like an avocado. I've taken some pictures I did throw in a couple little Christmas cactus in the ground around it in the pot that has nothing to do with the little tree. Currently it's about a foot tall with long slender leaves the new growth is slightly red but it changes to Green

Hi,
I am not familiar with this plant. I suggest you move it to a bigger pot (without the Christmas cactus) and grow it to a larger size until it flowers. It will be much easier to identify then.
