Fukien Tea. Not much of a beginner's tree as they are so finicky. Unfortunately, they are sold to beginners all too readily. Read Read and read some more. use the search feature on this site. I've thought of tossing mine for years now, but since I've kept it alive, I might as well keep it going.

They are very prone to Aphid and Mite infestation. You can not use harsh chemicals on it. Too much water and they drop their leaves. not enough water and they drop their leaves. Cussing at them makes them drop their leaves. Kicking them across the yard seems to bring them back to life...

Seriously, read up on it.
