  • Question

    This is a sapling of some kind of tree. These or similar pop up around my yard every year. Concord, MA, suburban yard near wooded area.

    Answer

    Dear llsrvd, you appear to have photographed a species of Malus (apple). Various flowering crab apples have this leaf morphology. I can't tell you which species you have without flower and fruits. Best wishes.
