Would someone mind helping me identify this neighboring plant? It grows right outside against the house thanks so much! -Robbie
THanks for the fast reply! dont know though. I live in Kentucky, and that would mean someone who lived here before me ordered the seeds and planted it since that's not a U.S. plant. I was questioning the possibility of maybe it being an elm seedling? what do you guys think? -Robbie
Thank you all for your contributions! I am going with the hackberry as the solution to my dilemma. Why I have a hackberry tree plant in a random spot in my yard is beyond me, but it is unmistakably identical to what the hackberry tree leaf looks like. thanks again -Robbie
The leaf veins looping before reaching teeth is different from veining in elms, which have mostly straight veins ending in teeth. This, as well as its zig-zag shoot tips, should make it a hackberry. Hackberries are now placed in family Cannabaceae together with hops and Indian hemp, on the strength of molecular evidence.
