Identifying a weed #880196

Asked August 04, 2024, 11:45 PM EDT

Hi, I would like to know what this is. It’s in our yard and landscaped areas. It’s attached to a long thick root that seems to run parallel to the ground .

Hi Barb,

I'm sorry, I don't know what is but it sure looks like some tree seedling to me. It does look familiar. Pull it up is all I can tell you. My guess is that that it's a seed from a tree near you. Sometimes seedlings can look nothing like the mature version of the tree.
