Question
I live in southwestern Pennsylvania and this started growing in the front yard. I haven't been able to identify it and I don't want to kill it if it's a shrub. I have very poor soil that grows a lot of weeds so I'm wondering if this is another weed. It has a nice thick stalk like a shrub.
Answer
Dear ebradich, your plant in the photographs looks like a seedling of Morus alba (white mulberry). This is a well known fruit tree. If it is in a good location, you might decide to keep it. Best wishes.
