    Seen in Worcester, MA. Woody-tree but cannot tell what the species is... please help!

    Answer

    Dear astahovec, your plant is a species of Quercus (oak) that has expanding leaves. It is a member of the black oak group (e.g., northern red oak, black oak, scarlet oak), as evidenced by the bristle-tips at the apex of the lobes. If you can get more images or images when the leaves expand, I can help you further with the identification.
