So, a year ago, Kim brought home a sprig of something from the zoo, and I planted it in the back yard.

It's grown into this (apologies for the washed-out color), and we have no fucking idea what it is.

Anyone have the first clue? Dad thinks it's some unspecified variant of the Chaste Tree, but that seems to have lilac flowers in long, conical clusters and a different type of leaves.

I'm inclined to say "probably not," mostly due to the fact that any leaves below the top canopy die and drop off, not unlike palm fronds.
