User's notes

This is the same plant which was identified as Callery Pear in autumn, see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4499775 However having looked at https://extension.psu.edu/callery-pear-accurate-identification#:~:text=To%20identify%20Callery%20pear%20look,of%20clusters%20of%20hard%20fruits. I don't think it is the Callery pear. So I am suggesting it may be a Prunus. There was no sign of any flowers or fruits. Cut and dabbed with glyphosate and mapped in FieldMaps treated as a woody weed.

Looks okay to me, immature leaves are a bit different than adult leaves but do look right here
