Thanks everyone!
Just out of curiosity why did you want to know what kind of tree sapling that was? I assume it's not your tree or you would have known what you bought & planted. I'm sure there's a story behind this. It's a boring COVID year and we like good stories.
Having a house built and they're doing the landscaping. Unfortunately, we do not have a say in the type of trees/plants the builder puts in. I knew that one of the trees planted was a japanese maple, but could not determine what the other two were so I turned to INGO. I tried Google first but the were quite a few that seemed similar.
Hackberry is much better than those Bradford Pear Trees all the builders in my area put in.
Are builders still planting Bradford Pears? Have they not got enough backlash from homeowners that have watched theirs split and drop half the tree after a modest thunderstorm?
Ask me how I know...
Not sure if they quit, but in the last 5 years the word is out and even experts are pleading with people to stop planting them... even calling them an invasive species.
