What is this plant?
+6
Hi, This plant came up in my yard. Could someone please identify it?
back side
11" wide
Leaf looks like a nasturtium
I think it looks like a nasturtium but it's hard to tell the scale. Be good to see the whole plant
Nasturtium plant.Does it have flowers?
Come on everybody, nasturtiums have the leaf stem in the center..... I am going to bet on a young tree sprout of some sort... let a couple grow up a bit and see what happens and try again
It looks like a Paulownia (also called Princess) tree, which is an invasive species and can grow 20 feet per year. I would remove it before it gets any larger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulownia
Can you post a picture of the underside of the plant? This could be Mayapple but I'd like to know more. What time of year did it come up? I think Mayapple leaves have more sharply defined ridges, but I'd still like to see more of the plant.
more photos to verify,please started coming up in April, in alabama
[Edit: forgive the ancient thread bump! I got excited when I saw the leaves.] Given the large fuzzy leaves and gentle lobing, I'd say you have a fig sapling of some sort. If so, and you like figs, congratulations! Three notes: First, if it is a fig tree, it may take a few years for it to put on fruit (if it's going to put on any fruit at all), so patience is key. Second, there are two kinds of fig fruits, ones with an opening at the end of the fruit and one without. If it's the open kind, gently open it with your fingers before biting down, in case any bees or wasps have climbed inside (happened to my grandfather once -- never again!). Third, the fruit that is knocked off of the tree or overripens and falls off will attract flies. To prevent this, take time to discard spoiled fruit on the ground (it's a bit of work but well worth it if you like fresh figs). If the flies do become an issue, put out flytraps.
