..did dry out a bit during late summer, it's always that ONE time....maybe a few hours pre-sunset? Watered the next morning, but alas, too late!!

……...Vinnie Two Times?.....get's moved twice a season!! Better results for sure if you get it out in the sun...late September maybe....

This volunteer has had me puzzled for a few years. I'm now guessing that it is a big leaf maple (acer macrophyllum) - a native in these parts. IIRC @parhamr is growing some.

I'm still shocked by how short the internodes are on this little tree.

Ilex serrata 'koshobai'. Probably as common here in the US as Sasquatch eating at a Burger King. This is a super dwarf version of the classic Japanese holly.

EDIT: The best part about it is that you don't ever need a male tree for it to fruit!

My first thoughts, spelling is fine.
It’s definitely our native Acer macrophyllum. They have interesting variance in appearance. Sycamore out west have a different look from this tree.

All still very premature but figured I’d jump on board and show some of my projects. First is a Buckley oak (Quercus buckleyi) collected this spring. I think I’m going to keep it as a taller more delicate tree but I do want to get meter movement /branching closer to trunk on the larger lower branches so I may chop them back at some point.B0329C1D-78B1-43A3-B4B0-8BEBD5933D5B.jpeg
Next is a cheddar elm collected in January. Lots of vigorous growth so just letting it gather strength before likely chopping the main center trunk back a bit. E7FC4811-BB43-4228-BC77-8C9A717CAE7D.jpeg
Another cedar elm with a bit more elegance and trunk movement. Not sure if I should go informal broom or let a leader grow out and pull down the branches that I will keep. 624D36D5-C0E3-4545-B26E-BDC871D4AE90.jpeg
And finally a super awesome Buckley oak that was also collected this spring. It sulked a bit through our really hot summer but put on an autumn flush so I think it is going to have a good year next year. E006A367-AC6C-4957-9BA2-4864EEE9413F.jpeg
