I'm trying to get a "grip" on its size. If it's huge could it be some sort of Gunnera? Like G insignis.
If small, then maybe one of the ornamental leafed Begonias? Sorry, guesses.

the same plant with my 13 y/o son

I think it is Gunnera insignis, poor mans umbrella. At the higher altitude here, they are HUGE.

Gunnera grows from a crown on the ground. It doesn't have a 'trunk' and branches. Plus these leaves are far too small.

Try Wercklea ferox. That seems close to me.

A hibiscus relative. "Ferocious" because of the spines on its leaves....

I'll second Wercklea ferox.

the staff at logees had no idea,lol

@vall3fam and Thedecoguy, you are correct. It is a Wercklea ferox.
