    This is precious little information to go on and an unfocused picture to boot. This tree is about 10 feet tall. It's growing at the edge of a woodland. Any guesses are appreciated.

    I can return and get a better picture tomorrow if needed.

    Here is a picture of the full tree. It looks a bit contorted I believe b/c it's leaning toward the street trying to get some sun.

    You're not kidding, Vib. Valley. The garlic mustard is the bane of my existence.
