About Trey Tarrant Expertise I can answer questions about plant identification, plant care, plant pest management, landscaping, and general gardening questions. Please post a picture of the plant you wish to identify, if possible. If you say something like, "I've got this plant and it's green with long leaves and white flowers" and do not include a picture, chances are I won't be able to help you. I may not be able to help with plants that are not grown in the Southeast/ Eastern US, but you're welcome to try me.

I've been on an on going unsuccessful search for the name and species of this
plant. It is believed the seeds were brought to Canada from Egypt area in the
mid 1930's. It can not survive the survive the cold winter, but loves water and
droughts. The seeds "pop" and land usually around 5 feet away from the
plant.
The stem has a woody feel and I've included a picture. Any help on genus, or
family would be greatly appreciated. I have more pictures if needed.
Thanks.
Answer That looks like a Plumeria to me. Have you seen it flower? It obviously has flowered if you have seeds. Take a look at the image search below and see if you think I'm right.
