The single one on the right is an elm of some kind. I'm drawing a blank on the other one. Rose of Sharon? Birch?

I agree that the longer narrower one is an elm, perhaps Ulmus pumila (Siberian elm.)

The wider, shorter leaf looks like a hawthorn, Crataegus sp.

The picture is kind of small, but the one on the right really doesn't look like an apple seedling, especially the last few inches of the shoot. Alex

Thanks Carol - I think you nailed the second one. Digging back through my old files (back when I kept records on paper :-) I actually found reference to a single seedling set in that area in 2004. Glad that at least one of the two is something I'm happy to have!

Thanks for looking leftwood. No, the forsythia speciemens that I've looked at lack those elongate stipules. Yes, those are cotyledons. The specimen was collected June 1, 2004, so I don't expect buds. Latest idea: When looking today at a specimen of Viburnum opulus var. americanum, I saw that the attachment of the leaves to the stems looks almost identical to my mystery plants. Stipules are shaped slightly differently, but similar enough to get me thinking. I rushed over to the herbarium and looked at every Viburnum specimen they had and then went through the whole Caprifoliaceae, but none have leaves that look quite like these. The closest match that I could find was the V. opulus. More ideas?

Hawthorn is a good possibility too.

I pulled up the Elm. The remainder must be where I put my Hawthorn seeds last fall, or was it the fall previous. Although they can be weedy, nothing is worse than all the Ironwood taking up my land.
