This has been growing in a pot next to a Clematis for a little while, I've just separated them today as the Clematis was suffering. I didn't plant it, it just came up. We do have a small apple tree in our garden so hoping it's grown from a seed of that but I think I might be being optimistic. Bit worried it could be nightshade? Any help appreciated!

    Hi there. Its definitely not nightshade but its too anonymous to hazard a guess as to what it is. The leaves look magnolia like but then again it could be an apple. Wait to see if it flowers image

    I'm pretty sure it's a willow sapling. The bark, the leaf shape and that hint of orange in the leaves is all willow

    I'd be happy with any of those, thanks so much!

    As long as its safe with a little one around I'm happy to wait and see what it does ?
