If the leaves are thick and juicy, it's a Jade plant or Money Tree. Not sure of the Scientific name though haha

Actually I think you are both kinda correct. I think it is a Corokia cotoneaster. Which is a Corokia, not a Cotoneaster. :lost:

Not a Corokia leaves are to bright. If it flowers with little yellow flowers then i am wrong.
