Give it time and care. If it's a tree then you can transplant it.

It's a willow oak, and if you want to transplant it, do it while it's still tiny; it will develop a really long root that will make it hard to dig later. Live oak has rounded leaves.

it looks like cannibus, but may also be a reseeded cleome

Looks like pot to me too...

Willow oak seedling!

Looks Like a Pit Tree..(Peaches,Plum,Nectureen) Some times they take yrs for the outside hard shell to Biodegrade..Then the Inside Seed will Produce a Tree...If the Stem gets "Woody" looking.You Have a Pit Tree.Gotta wait 2~3yrs for it to produce fruit.It's Not Pot..LOL Good Luck..Wish you had a Better Picture..

Are the leaves fragrant? It kind of looks like my lemon verbena.

It is a Willow Oak.

Like others have said, I wouldn't just rip it out, but you might want to re-pot it and possibly take it to your county Dept of Agriculture or a local nursery to see if they can tell you what it really is. If it's a tree of any kind, I wouldn't kill it. As people are always saying what's important is "Location, Location, Location!"

Just had my husband look at it and he agrees with Trish M. He thinks it is probably a stone fruit of some kind.

Umbrella plant is the common name,

Not like any oak I've ever seen! almost looks like MJ.

It looks like a Willow Oak or Laurel Oak seedling

.

Ok, I'm going to check back on this thread...lots of informatin here..need to see who is correct! Who wins the "name this weed?" Interesting thread. And fun.

It is a Willow Oak, Quercus phellos. They make good shade trees, although they drop limbs sometimes and they do have some surface roots.

It's a Willow Oak. We have one in our front yard and we have hundreds of the seedlings. Squirrels plant the seeds all over the place. ):

In NC we call this a water oak. Great shade tree in a few years.

I glad the concencus is, it isan Oak of some sort.

I was mistaken, this is not a water oak, it an a willow oak. I have a huge one in my front yard.

Here take a look at this:

I See we haven't figured it out Yet...LOL I'm Dieing to know...LOL

We have figured it out: willow oak, Quercus phellos

AWESOME!!!

I agree with leaving it at least until you can identify what it is. It is unusual.

yup looks just like my new willow oak foliage.....what a treat i had to pay for mine....lol

If it had a woody stem, it is a new Walnut Tree. A squirrel has probably buried a walnut and it has sprouted. I have these to come up every time under my walnut tree.
