What is this? Notice my shoe next to it, for size comparison..



close up of the leaves-

Meg does this one creep along the ground, or grow up?

It appears to be growing kinda up... tho not straight up.

It looks familiar...can't place it though... It looks kinda like something I have only I think mine is smaller, with redder stems, and grows along the ground in a cluster like...may be something totally different, I dunno?

It's a sapling that wants to be a tree - and I'll betcha' you've got something near it that has berries on it - or did have some berries on it.

Oh, and the roots are sons-of-guns, right?

Chinese Elm

I'm with Carly...it's either a tree or a shrub. I'll go through my books.

Bumping.. I have another that's similar.. will post separately tho..

It looks similar to a mystery plant I have growing - see my post below "Mountain Ash".

The leaves seem to be a similar shape but mine seem more evenly spaced. Are yours rough or smooth texture?
