| Hi all.
I posted this on the Shrubs forum and it was suggested that I give you folks a shot. I will post a wide shot here and then a close-up of the leaves next. It is growing so beautifully, I figure it must be a weed or something I don't want! ;)
Thanks! |

| This is the close-up of the leaves. I figure that if it is something bad, I should get rid of it now.
Thanks again. |

| Could it be a corylopsis glabrescens? That would be wonderful and it looks sort of like the pictures I have found online. |

| Is it just me or are the pictures upside down? Is it woody then, like a shrub/tree? Often things like this turn out to be elm seedlings. Have you looked around to see if there are any mature plants in your neighbors' gardens that resemble this? |

| No, esh, the pictures are right side up. Someone else asked that on the shrubs forum. Here is another picture from farther away that ay show the shape better. It is shrub-like, I think, although maybe it is a young tree. Whichever it is, it probably needs to be moved. :( |

| Sorry but that photo is NOT right side up!! Not unless plants grow out of the side of buildings in your area :-) It is not a corylopsis but not sure what else it may be - Ulmus/elm is as good a guess as anything and bears a resemblance to the foliage. Fast growing would typically indicate a plant that is either weedy or native but not necessarily one to encourage. And for some reason, volunteers never seem to sprout up in an appropriate location either. |

| If I saw that plant around here, I'd think it was lacebark elm, Ulmus parvifolia, which pops up all over the place. |

| If you click the pics, they fix themselves in a new window. Not sure why or how...but try that. |

| Nevermind, didn't work..only worked on the OP's post in the Shrub forum. |

| I am so confused. On my computer, the pictures are right-side up exactly the way they look in real life. Not sure what you all are seeing, but thanks for your ideas anyway! I guess I will get rid of it. Thanks again and sorry the pics didn't work on your screens! |
