This little thing is so healthy, hearty and full of life that I know it must be a "trash" something, but I hate to pull it up before I know for sure. Can you help? Thanks, Syb
What is it?
Something in the same family as elm? Maybe Cedar Elm?

Yes, it looks like Cedar Elm, they make wonderful trees and they are host to Butterflies.
Not "trash" at all!
The question is..........do you want a tree there?
Thanks, all. Actually, no I don't want a tall tree there, but maybe I could move it to somewhere I DO want one.
Syb-
I have a small tree that looks very similar. It's called 'witch hazel'. They are native to our area. My tree is very happy and grows like a weed with no special care. They provide beatiful fall color. It could be an elm but my elms' leaves are much smaller and are rough to the touch.
