Question
Hi!It's not often the GoBotany searches fail me, and it's driving me nuts not knowing what this is! Located in Sudbury, MA, edge of a wooded area. Tree form, slightly serrated leaf edges, mostly 3 leaves/cluster but more at tips/new growth. Reddish veining, upward curl, yellowish tinge to underside. White petioles, single red scale leaf bud. Exposed roots callous over white & smooth, similar to birch. Unique vertical veining along sapling trunks, orange tint to bark at joints / damage. Thanks!
Answer
Kamereone, good afternoon. Your tree looks like a cultivated species. Can you confirm this is a wild plant growing outside of cultivation? Feel free to email me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org so we can communicate further about your discovery. Best wishes.
