    Can anyone identify this? Found it outside my classroom growing between some stones.

      I think it might be a sycamore seedling.
      I found a variegated one many years ago and its quite a large tree now.

      Thank you, @pete. Did it keep its variegation?

      Yes, and mine has orange new growth early in the season.
      I'll see if I can get a picture.

      Tomorrow its nearly dark now, and the camera keeps icing up :biggrin:

        They get big so I have to cut mine back, but a couple of pictures.
