Sumac vs Walnut (PNW, USA)
I have a native sumac planted in this large planter. Picture 1 is the entire planter with a sprout circled. Picture 2 is a closeup of the sprout. Picture 3 is a closeup of the part of the canopy.
I can’t tell if the circled sprout is new growth from the sumac or something else…I’ve narrowed it down to walnut. The foliage on the sprout isn’t serrated like that of the canopy, but that’s the only differentiator I’ve noticed so I don’t feel confident pulling the sprout out for fear of damaging the sumac.
What do y’all think? Did a squirrel bury a nut in my planter or is this new growth from my sumac?
