Very Cool Unidentified Tree

In the beginning, I kept one alive inside infested with mites for a while. ......

I got faith in them still.

Looks like dogwood, here's a test. Fold the leaf in half sharply over on itself to break it then slowly pull it apart. If it's dogwood there will be fine threads pulling out from the leaf veins holding on to the other side, you can dangle the two separated halfs from them. Our native Canadian dogwoods like to be good and moist and transplant easily

If it is a Dogwood all I can say is I have collected several and they all died. In conversation on the phone a week ago I found that an other person had the same experience... No more digging those for me.

My dad transplanted two dogwoods when we built our addition. One survived...the other died. He put pipes down into the hole to ensure it was watered well at the roots. Not a bonsai job...but, relocating from one location to another town. The one is lovely that survived.

Gave it a go and sure enough it had threads when the leaf was pulled apart. Right now its moist and hanging out in the garage till spring. I'll let you guys know if it survives! The old trunk that died off had got some really nice lines

Three I collected before I was 20 and all three lived. Two in ground, one in pot.

@ Tim,
I encourage to grow it and see how it does. I haven't tried one, so I can't offer more than encouragement.
