Along with the sick apricot tree (see my other post) we uncovered in
the garden this plant:

It was totally overgrown and only had about 2 small leaves last year.
We cleared it out and protected it over the winter and it's grown
quite well.

It's about 18" tall at the moment, and the lower stems are woody.
Does anyone know what this might be? Could it be a magnolia?
