Does anyone know what kind of sapling this is? I think it is either a scrub oak (because it is growing next to one \& could have grown from an acorn) or a weeping dog (that is how my Planta app identified it). Hoping a fig— if it’s another oak, I’ll be giving it away! The oak is sooo messy and not my favorite!
