please tell me what this is!

Found this well hiking this spring and grabbed 3 of them but I can't figure what it will grow in to.

Eastern red cedar seedling I'm guessing

Not certain, but be careful about grabbing plants while out exploring. Unless it's your own land, you usually need permission of some kind. Also, try not to collect something until you know you have a purpose for it/it would work for bonsai.

The growth habit is way way way not like any I've seen. But it looks like it could be. Or maybe a close....relative.

Great thanks guys!

No fear my bonsai freind! For I live in maine were the woods never end. In people cut trees like it ain't one man's business. .. so I take tree/ seedling that I find in the woods as long as it's not marked and it's not someone's lawn... though it's been hard not to grab some nice trees I see when I drive out to town. But I'm to old an have kids now so I can't be that ... uumm wild any more...not till there out of the house.

Can't tell too well from the picture but looks to be something I see quite regularly. If it is it isn't even a tree.

 

[M. Frary]

Then again it could be you know what.

Saw something that looked like it in a field gide that said it was a moss. ..

But I like.the idea of it being a ERC

 

[M. Frary]

ERC

A what?

 

[Nwaite]

Eastern red cedar... E.R.C . Or if your in the getto red ceds dog... get with the times bro!

I like the idea of my singles being hundreds.
Even more so if I were a stripper or a cabbie.

A ghetto in Maine? That's an idea too!

J. CRACK. is the latin(king) name for these!

Not certain what they are but they do not look anything like an Eastern Red to me. The leafs are wrong and don't grow downward like that. I have never seen my Eastern Reds with a green trunk. The pictures you show look to grow similar to a Norfolk Pine but those would not survive Winter in your area...

Yes but the foliage seems to "plump". Eastern Reds normally have very fine juvenile foliage, at least the ones I have.

Nope. How about a close-up picture of the foliage?

 

[M. Frary]

Telling you,not even a tree. Club moss sounds like the name I was told they were.
Good luck.

 

[Nwaite]

Man I hope it's not the moss.. I did see a pic of that on line and it looked alot like what i had...

If I get a chance to go out and move the hay I'll get a few more pics guys.

Thanks ones again for you time and help!
