Looks like a nut tree of some kind -- maybe like a hickory or walnut?

Any of those nearby? Squirrels probably planted it.

I'll bet someone in the Tree Forum could nail it if you don't get any ID here.

is the leaf naturally shiny.. or did it just rain ... as everything in the pic is shiny ...

pokeweed jumped to my mind real fast ... and then poison ivy.. but i cant really focus on any leaf edge to see if the thumb is there ... but probably neither ...

straight down pix arent the best ... but at least that got a scale in there.. lol ...

Very true. I tossed many Solanum and Datura seeds into the garden, but I have all of them accounted for: S. quitoense, S. pyracantha, D. metel (purpurea) and then five varieties of pepper from Trinidad Scorpion to Carolina Reaper to Bhut Jalokia. I can ID each of those though. :( I cannot wait to solve the mystery. It could end up being nothing important though, ha. I also tossed in some Solandra maxima seeds, those are the only seeds to have not come up yet. That does not look like S. maxima though...

It looks like leaf mold to me, you can cut the infected leaves off, then treat with a fungicide. Also I know a couple folks over at Tomatoville that swear by using a diluted bleach solution. Here's a link http://tomatoville.com/showthread.php?t=28509 Bill Finch, who works at the mobile botanical garden is a big proponent of using it since he has the same problems due to the hot and humidity summers we have.

hmmmm
I have a small hickory in the back and a small one was growing next door.
There was also a pokeweed i was trying to get rid of about 3 feet away from this spot.

I hope it is niether of those.
I was hoping it could be deciduous magnoila....
Thats what i thought it was but i cannot be sure. There are a few mags in the neighbourhood.

Whatever it is, you surely don't want it there do you?

Can you carefully dig it up? or scrape down into the soil and look and see if there's a nut (or what's left of one)?

It's not pokeweed or poison ivy. It's clearly a tree seedling and looks as if it is going to be pinnate leaved e.g nuts or ashes.

Not poison ivy (which doesn't have to have irregular leaf margins). If it were PI, there wouldn't be such a difference in the size of the leaflets.

I vote for a tree seedling. Future leaves may have more than 3 leaflets.

I definetly dont want it there. lol
That area is about 4 feet from my front door.
I might dig it up and let it grow for a while to see what it is.

The leaves aren't shaped like Poison Ivy but it could be mutated!! Not likely but that stuff grows in the exact same areas.
