One of the great things about growing all these plants while being a FT SAHD is that literally nothing has plant markers anymore so I get to try to guess whether it’s something I’m trying to grow or something I’m happening to grow. All the time.
Here’s the clue: this NE US native plant’s common name references the plant it resembles.


“maple” is a part of the common name of this plant, you’re on the right track!
Maple Viburnum? I’m just googling wildly lol
Lol they’re maple leaved viburnums, good guess!
The only way I’m able to tell at this stage is that true maples keep their oval cotyledons for longer
