Weed

Janet Pizaro · Answer

Honestly I don't think any one should be so quick to judge that it is a weed.Since people are from different states one can not just assume. I would dig this up and put it in a pot and see what happens. If there is no flower or anything you like about it then toss it.

It looks like a weed to me as well.

Dusty Cutter · Answer

Quite often you can tell if it's a weed when you pull on it a bit - if weed it will come out easily, if it's rooted I would leave it and see what happens.

Looks like something I have growing. It looks like a seedling from my burning bush. In the summer they turn a brilliant red. Dee

MN Mom · Answer

If it is growing in a spot where you want something, leave it and see what happens. If you don't want it pull it out. Weeding is perfectly fine, even if it could be a flower.

Mother Nature seems to find ways of putting her little lost children in good homes where they can flourish. Think of this part of your garden as a foster home for the time being.

Integritygirl · Answer

It looks like what we call a Mexican Petunia. It could have pink or purple flowers.

Roberta Johnson · Answer

My first thought was a tomato seedling. Smell it and that will confirm. Tomato foliage smells strongly with their own distinct smell. After looking closer , I doubt it is a tomato. Most leaves are not serrated to the petiole. . (I run a greenhouse in Kansas and am not familiar with weeds down your way, but it could be a seed in the mulch or chipped bark.)

Dgreen · Answer

It is a running, aggressive weed. It has invaded my garden and the more I pull it the more it grows. The roots have long runners and therefore are quite invasive.

Linda Kay Walters Walker · Answer

I believe it is a tree.   If you didn't plant it, pull it.

EJ · Answer

Leave it to grow and find out what it is.  It looks a little like a cedar elm but could be a flower. Birds drop a lot of seeds. I find something new and beautiful in my garden every year .

Joan · Answer

Was going to say birds and squirrels plant trees, I would wait and see what it does if it isn't something you like then pull it. It looks like a baby walnut

Cathie · Answer

It looks like a tomato plant.

Rebecca Swift · Answer

Anything you did not plant and do not want in your flower bed should be considered a weed. I agree with previous comments. You should pull it.

Linda Liechty · Answer

I would pull it. It will only steal water from the plants that you did plant.

Tammy Odom · Answer

I've decided it's probably not a flower & I don't want anything else in that spot.  I'm going to pull it.

Patti Blake · Answer

Look up trefoil vine. It looks like cardimine impatiens also.

J Wolf · Answer

Any plant growing where you don't want it is a weed and deserves to be pulled. Only hesitate if you're not sure what you planted should look like.
