This was gifted from work but no one here or at the local nursery can identify it.

well, it's not an oleander. Is there any smell to the leaves when crushed? What colour is the sap? What colour is the stem and are the older stems a different colour? – kevinsky♦ Nov 21 '13 at 19:30

1Older stems are woody and resemble the stem of a "money tree". The newer stems are green, there is no sap and the scent is a fresh green smell. – Marsha Nov 21 '13 at 19:50
I have an avocado plant and this looks like it.

1Please add some detail: what characteristics of the plant make you think it's an avocado. – Niall C.♦ Nov 23 '13 at 23:23

Could this be a garden croton? We have one at home that has narrow leaves attached to the woody stem in this way. It tends to stay dark green when grown in a shady area/does not get any full sun.
