Hi Bougy Fan,
From what I can see it doesn't have any thorns... Here is a closer picture of one of the branches if that helps:

I think it might be a cotoneaster or possibly a serissa what colour were the flowers?
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

Cotoneaster .
Keep it outside. The new growth is extending under inside conditions by the look of it.

Cotoneaster horizontalis that looks as though it has been kept in not enough sun. https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Coto ... 80&bih=885

How long as it been inside? so slowly slowly back into the sun.danwhite789 wrote:I'll get it out there ASAP! Thanks, Hackimoto. Do you have any other care tips for this particular tree?
I also agree Cotoneaster.
Cheers Pup.
Ps now that I have commented on it, it might die as me and Cotoneasters do not get on.

Let's hope not, Pup! We can break the unlucky streak. I believe that it has been inside for about a week or two.
