DaisyI said:Hi Amy,

I think we are confusing you. Was the maple tree planted by someone? Or did it come up from seed under your azalea bushes? If you just moved to this house, maybe the previous owner planted it? If you have lived here forever, maybe it came from seed? (answer these questions)

Take a couple photos of the very bottom of the tree trunk from soil level to about a foot up from a couple different directions. Maybe we can see the graft.

I see what you mean now. The seed came from a neighboring tree in my neighborhood, so it was a tree that was already growing. I have many different young trees growing under larger bushes unfortunately, like oaks, Japanese Maples, and some I don't know the name for. As I said, I found it under azalea bushes in my backyard, and I thought to bring it out to the front. I will take a picture of the graft so you can see it in a bit. Thanks for the clarification.
