    Our property is filled with them. They are trees, so unless you want a 50 foot tree in that spot best to get rid of it or transplant. If you do want to keep it, they are really lovely. It seems pretty developed for being a seedling though. Are you sure it isn't just a small branch that is stuck there?

      Thank you! It's not a branch stuck there and I get them all over the yard. Perhaps a neighbor has this tree and that's where the seeds are coming from.

    I just googled and found new images. It does look like the tulip poplar tree.If it is not in a good spot for you dig it up and pot the plant until you know where you want it. It truly has a beautiful flower if thats the right plant.

      Thanks so much, Janet! I think I will pot it and see what happens!

    Tulip poplars are beautiful but very messy. If you don't want a fine mist of sap covering everything with black gunk in the spring, then get rid it

    Definitely a tulip tree. We have a HUGE tree at the corner of our property and I love it, consequently one of my biggest "weed" problems is Tulip seedlings!

    Some one defined a weed as something growing where you don't want it to grow. Back east we pulled Queen Anne's lace as a weed. Out here they cultivate it and use it in flower arrangements.
