I don't think it's a morning glory. More likely something a bird dropped. You can watch it awhile and see if it flowers, giving you more to go on. Enjoy the mystery!
Use the app, picture this to figure it out!
It's a weed/tree delivered by Mother Nature, definitely not a morning glory, you'd see twisty vines. This has a trunk with branches.
The leaves look like Morning Glory, but if you don't remember planting it, it could be Bindweed - a bird may have dropped the seeds.
It looks like my tree. Check my pictures.
If it is one like that, I can give you lots of information
Catalpa speciosa
is the name of it. You can have the most beautiful tree, if you know how to treat it. It will bloom and grow like crazy.

Use the app PlantSnap and it helps you ID plants.
I use the app iNaturalist to identify plants, it's free and works pretty well. It does look like morning glory and if it is, pull it, it's hugely invasive.
I believe it is Japanese Knotweed, it is a VERY invasive plant. You can try to suffocate it with heavy duty black visqueen plastic or tarps letting no sun or water in for about a year. You can paint the leaves with concentrated RoundUp. If you dig it up leaving even the tiniest bit of the plant it will regrow. It grows from rhizomes that spread horizontally and up to 3 feet underground. It is so pervasive in UK that you have to get rid of it before you can sell your property. I tried using salt, Dawn & vinegar for a whole summer with no success.
I agree, def, Japanese knotweed, you need to get rid of it, hope ths helps you out,
Glyphosate-based herbicides have been found to be the most effective at controlling Japanese knotweed. There are however many herbicide products that use glyphosate, and some are better than others. RoundUp that can be bought from shops will not kill knotweed.
