So there are several of these trees located around my yard and I've never given them much thought. Until today when I purchased a plant at the garden center I work at and I noticed it had several smaller versions of this tree around the plant. I planted the plant I purchased and put the trees in the empty pot with some soil. Some family members believe it is part of the birch family?
Thats the tree at the nursery I work at.
