    Looks more like oak to me but it's still a bit young. Not birch as they are pointed.

        I don't know what it is but just a thought, lowest leaf looks like a cotyledon.
        Not totally sure but I think acorns leave the cotyledons below the surface.
        Does look like possible squirrel planting.
        @Billi ,was there any sign of an acorn attached to the roots.

            I was wondering that too, so maybe it isn't an Oak after all.

              Pic below to show young Quercus sp ...common name oak seedling.

              Normally if you move them the acorn is still attached and very obvious.

              I think we need to see more pics as baby grow bigger. QUERCUS XXX 03-05-2009 16-54-36.JPG
