I think a baby apple trea has sprouted from underneath our Fig tree.

I think there is a baby apple tree growing at the bottom and near the foot of our fig tree in our back yard. It has shiny leaves and may or may not be an apple. I would have to transplant the thing in a spot of its own and wait a few years until I can be sure, meantime I can probably take a leaf sample to a nursery. If it is in fact an apple tree I will indeed want to keep it. When I pull weeds up along the back alley fence of our back yard in the big D, it is often that wild plants come up every springtime. If only I had more knowledge about botany. I used to like reading from a book I owned, bought at a half off book sale once, that was all about trees and shrubs and had many colorful pictures and much detailed information about them. I think I will look into buying another book to look at on this topic if I can't find it in my collection.
