Hi there! I have an orange tree in my yard and there is something growing to the left of it...can someone help me ID it? I also took a picture of one of its leaves.     |

 It looks a lot like a little tree that we have been trying to ID in another thread. Whatever it is, you don't want it growing up through and overwhelming your orange tree. Pull it out! If it doesn't pull, cut it close to the ground and coat it with full strength Roundup or Brushkiller (use a little paintbrush - you do not want ANY of that touching the ground or your orange tree). Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| I have the same problem here in Michigan with unwanted weed trees popping up. For me it is usually a honeysuckle. I am interested to find out what your unwanted guest is. |

| That is an Ash (Fraxinus sp.) seedling. Note the pinnate compound foliage with opposite arrangement along the stems/branches. Your third picture shows one leaflet from the pinnate compound leaves. The leaflets attach to the midrib (known as the rachis) of the leaf. The entire compound leaf is attached to the woody stem/branch. John |
