Good morning, everyone, I have this tree or shrub growing in my garden in North Louisiana. I hired someone to weed an overgrown garden. When he was finished there was what looked like a shrub. There had been hydrangea's there before, so I thought maybe it was coming back and I left it. It grew into this, which is clearly not an hydrangea. I'm wondering if it's a tree or shrub that I may want to leave there, or if I should pull it out. It's a very sunny spot and dry. The leaves are starting to spot, but we've had unusually high temps and no rain. I will follow this post with a picture of the leaves close up.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Looks like a Dogwood, Cornus florida.

I don't know what this is but your Hydrangeas are still there down on the right and are getting overshadowed by the mystery shrub.
