Need help to identify a plant

Hi everyone.
About year ago a friend of mine brought from africa some strange fruits - size of ping-pong ball, red, tasty with very hard seed inside.
It suppose to be a fruit from baobab tree (Adansonia).
I've put 2 seeds into a flowerpot added water and left outside. After a month or two a little something came out with one leaf.
And now, after one year, it look like this

I've checked on the internet and found out that baobab looks kind a diferent and now I have a little quiz. What the heck is it.

Mayby the fruits were something else or it's a plain weed that grow up all by itself :]

Any idea?

I think you have a little hawthorn tree.

Actually I thought it's hawthorn tree, but now I'm not sure
It's over a month since I took the last photo.
By now it grew a little bit :]

Could be :]
Hope we'll see it blossom soon (if ever). It should be easier to recognise then
