looks like some sort of croton to me!

I think it’s a garden croton

Red banana croton? I have one and it looks just like that.

croton! be warned, they are very fussy if you don't live in a tropical zone. prone to pests and drying out due to low humidity.

Very fussy. Need strong, full light to keep the color or it just comes on green. Then does. I love these.
