| This plant (or tree) voluntarily came up in my flower bed. At first I thought it was a sunflower, but it didn't develop a sunflower head. It is now a good 4 feet taller than my house. Large leaves, large, sturdy trunk. Does anyone recognize it and know its name? Thanks |

| A big, shady and messy tree - you probably won't want it right there by the house. |
