Just this one stem is growing in my yard along a tall retaining wall. It is in a shady area near my Comfrey.
I would say a tree or a shrub. probably a "pull it" kind. I don't think it is a bradford calary pear but it reminds me of one...
Thank you both. I was thinking that, but I didn't see barbs. Maybe it is too young still. My neighbor has a barberry bush. I'm guessing an animal must have taken a berry and dropped it here.
