Are these trees or weeds

[Polish hammer]

Any idea what these are there all over my garden

I was expecting something different from the title.

Damn...

They look like crabapple. Don’t know if they grow where you’re at but down south they are evil.

Lol I could see that with the title... crab apples grow here in south east Wisconsin but there are like 60-80 of them in a 30 by 40 garden all of a sudden

not sure what they are but looks like the first frost should kill them. did you manure you garden this year?

 

[JTM]

Do you have any ornamental Bradford Pear trees near you? I believe they are an invasive that has wreaked havoc. They look like crabapple. I’ve seen pastures full of them. Birds disperse the seeds and they come up every where.

No no manure on the garden.. and no Bradford’s that I know of anywhere I planted some harrow crisp pear trees this spring but they didn’t bare any fruit

I have popples around or poplar as some day could it be them? Seems crazy they grew that tall already

 

[Polish hammer]

Figured it out Easter cottonwood crazy the growth they put on

Poplars sprouting off of the root systems of the surrounding trees. Definition of weed is a plant growing somewhere that you don't want it.

Actually the weed definition has a time component as well.
