Can anyone tell me what this tree is. Those wierd little 'nuts" have me stumped. I need to know what I'm working with. I've always had tropicals, thought I would try one of these. Thanks

It is not a ficus. The nuts are two sides of the seed. It looked a little like avocado, but that woul dnot have compound leaves.. Curious..
