    I have tried to figure this Pete ... I think a Spanish location of some sort ... wondering what trees/shrubs are near by that may have seeded themselves? ...

      It looks like an ash sapling, but a pic of the stem would be useful.

      I thought Carob but the leaves aren't wavy enough.

        Carob was where I was heading, but thought it would be good to get the location before jumpimg in.

        This is a puzzle! No the leaves aren't compound, (we are talking Psidium here, yes?) but in photos, they can give that impression, being paired on the stem. (How's that for a slippery wriggle?;)). Go on then...your guess:)

        The leaves in the pic are definitely compound.
        My guess is the same as strongy, Carob, Ceratonia siliqua.:)
