Hello. I am new here at allthingsplants. I have lurked around for a while and am comfortable with this community. This is great!

Now, I have a question. I would like to know the species of this little tree. Is it worth keeping? Thanks for your help.

Hi Edwin

I could be wrong, but that tree looks like a walnut to me.

I agree, looks like walnut. Here is a general guide to leaf ID and some general info

Thank you very much! This does not seem like a wise plant to grow near a septic system.

Although it looks to be a pretty decent sized tree. Too bad it's near the septic.

Welcome, edwin! Don't know anything about the tree, but I do like your avatar! Alpine, maybe?

I too like your avatar

Hi Edwin. Nice to meet you.

Thanks and hello all. She is an American Alpine-Saanan mix, and has a wonderful, calm and friendly temperament.

I had to do a double read there....at first i thought you were IDing the tree.....

Ha! I don't know much about trees, but I do know goats!
