ID'ing common sprouts--probably a tree
Out of curiosity thought I'd post this question.
We are seeing lots of these all over the lawns, backyards, side, behind the garage. I'm guessing it is a tree since it is so well spread. Does anyone recognize it? http://members.aol.com/digitalvinyl66/commonsprouts.jpg The camera color is accurate. It has a reddish tinge in the leaves.

ID'ing common sprouts--probably a tree
The lower leaves look like cotyledons. There will be a sycamore in the
vicinity though the leaf is a little different. They will not survive a mowing but those in borders need to be pulled soon before their tap root makes this difficult. Best Wishes.

One of the maples, and it's a seedling. Probably re maple knowing the area.

These are most likely its offspring. pam - gardengal |

I feel sure you really do know the Sycamore / Maple trees. Possibly not by
name but these are the trees that produced the 'helicopter' seeds that as a child you threw into the air to watch them slowly spiral down!!

Sycamore has alternate branching.

Only the first pair of true leaves are showing. Branches will develop later.
There is no doubt that it is a Maple/ Sycamore. Thanks for your comment. Best Wishes "Mike LaMana" fake@MikeatHeartwoodConsultingdotnet wrote in message ... Brian: Sycamore has alternate branching.

The seed is not really minuscule. Not much smaller than a pea. The
cotyledons are folded within the seed and are the strap-like little leaves shown on the extreme right of the photo. Best Wishes.

Yes of course!! How stupid of me...I knew this at some point! We actually
see feral sycamore maples in NYC area from time to time. Thanks! -- Mike LaMana, MS Heartwood Consulting Services, LLC Toms River, NJ www.HeartwoodConsulting.net "Pat Kiewicz" wrote in message ...
