This has sprouted up in my front yard hedges. West facing. been there for maybe two years now. Should I replant it in the yard or pull it like a weed ?
Thanks

Hi Larry,
you have a seedling/sapling of the red maple tree, Acer rubrum. It is very common in our area. Only you can decide what to do with it! It is a nice tree whose leaves turn bright red in the Autumn.
