That appears to be a seedling of some sort but I guess you are expecting us to be able to tell you a species.
Not enough details for me to even guess at a species yet. Try again when the leaves are fully open

Leaves appear somewhat like a red oak but there is not really enough here to go on yet. Come back later.
If last spring / summer is anything to go by. This is fully open! I posted the same tree last year and had the same response that the leaves need to fully open, they never did.....

Maybe someone in your neck of the woods will chime in. It resembles a shrub more than a tree, though the difference sometimes is irrelevant.

Good to know. Every bit of info can help with ID, especially with unusual species. Does it grow more than just these few leaves? I would suspect most plants with so few small leaves has a problem - nutrient deficiency or water or something.
Rather than waiting until this time next year and starting a new thread please add another photo in a month or so to see what it does really look like when leaves are a bit older.

Why not just rip it out?

To me it looks like it wants to grow up to be a hawthorn.
Hi Sansui,
Its a bit late for Hawthorn. Too Early for Beech. Possibly Wych Elm or Hazel. But the car park I collected it from is normal full of sycamore seedlings. But the buds don't fit for Sycamore??? I have tended to it because last year I wasn't sure if it was going to make the winter. But it does look healthy but very small in size. @Shibui Not sure my friend. It is taking on feed and its roots are healthy and white its in a non organic mix and seems to be OK. I hope it's not a bloody Sycamore!!!! Anything but that!

I had a look at your last year photos, the leaves reminds me one of the Liquidambar species.
but it might be even Sycamore but so stressed etc so it generates kinda weird leafs ?
Do you have a photo of the bud by any chance ?

I am thinking the same thing. But the buds didn't "appear" to be Sycamore. Also the internodes are tiny, this could of course be due being very stunted.

How long do you have it for ?
if its only 2nd year in the pot - the tree still can be stressed

Since last April. I will wait it out till summer to see if there are any changes. It would be cool if it was a sycamore but with tiny leaves that stay tiny. It's got about 15-20 tiny leaves on it now all budding out. The buds are also very small. You can see one at the base of the left trunk.

Maybe give it a little fertilizer and see if it wants to grow up a bit

Are there any witch hazel in the area?
Hi @Paradox
It gets ferts once or twice a week (Liquid). It gets plenty of water. It's roots are very healthy. You never know it might be a JH elm moment!!!
Yes there are a few. And we have had severe winds every year for the last 4-5 years.

Pretty sure that's it.

I thought you had left it where you found it and were waiting for something to collect it. I'm glad you already got it out and into a pot.
