Question
Hi I have a roughly 8 inch tree seedling I'm trying to identify. Pictures attached. thank you! Concord, MA backyard near a wooded area (mostly oaks).
Answer
Dear llsrvd, your plant is a seedling of a Tilia (linden) species. There are several non-native lindens that originate from Europe, one common species is Tilia cordata (small-leaved linden). It would be hard to know for sure which species it is without flowers/fruits. Hopefully knowing the genus of the woody plant will help you with your study.
