Yep, I was going to say the same. I've got some growing unintentionally -- a piece broke off a houseplant so I threw it onto the mulch under a small tree, and next thing I knew, it was growing. Books on edible plants say that this is edible and tastes nice, but when I tasted it, I thought it was yucky.

Loved it , too. I have a Poncirus trifoliata tree that is about 3 ft tall, 2 cuttings that are 2 ft tall and a flying dragon that is such a slow grower and is only 1 ft tall. I plan on planting the 3 ft tall one in ground because I want an unprotected citrus growing and giving off that wonderful citrus aroma in my backyard even though we have winters when temps drop down to -10F.

Yes it looks like a close relative of Tradescantia, maybe a Murdannia. Compare to M. spirata, M. nudiflora.

Jessica The twig is surely from last year's growth as the large shield-shaped spots are last year's leaf scars. Leaves on young, rapidly growing trees can be enormous. One of my neighbors, since passed away sadly, grew one which he cut to the ground each year just because he liked the new leaves. One years growth could reach as much as 15-20 feet and leaves 15-20 inches across. Flowers are gorgeous with a sickningly sweet odor, seeds are tiny and spread by the millions. Decaying leaves in Fall smell like stale sweat socks (butyric acid). Was the basis of a minor timber boom in the 80-90s which seems to have petered out.
