Name That Plant!

image

 

Good evening all,

 

I am new to this forum and have decided to jump in at the deep end image

 

Could someone please enlighten me as to what plant this is above? Three have come through this year next to some perennials and I am baffled at to what they could be?

Cheers

 

Chris

    If you dig them up, you will find the acorn still attached.

    They look like oak tree seedlings to me, but there is a shrubby tree that looks similar who's name esacpes me at the moment.  Any squirrels in your area?  They love planting acorns and hazelnuts etc in pots of compost!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    You plant oaks for your grandchildrenimage

  • Thank you all for your responses!

     

    By process of elimination i think it's safe to say that next doors oak tree (see photo below) may be the culprit with a little help from Mr. Squirrel!

     

    I only have a 60ft X 35ft garden therefore no room here! I'm sure i'll find somewhere to sneak them in and allow nature to gradually take its course!image
