Please identify this plant

[GatheringRequirements]

Hi MN'ers

I have this (pic attached) plant in my garden and was wondering what kind of plant it is and if its worth keeping it,please let me know what it is

I think it might be gaultheria shallon - does it get chains of white/pink bell shaped flowers on it?

Otherwise it's a bit straggly which made me think it could be a sapling that's grown from a stray seed.

But, the photo doesn't give a sense of scale.

it doesn't have any flowers ,made me wonder if its worth keeping ,here is another photo

Is it evergreen?

no ,the leaves started coming from April

How long have you lived there? Just thinking that if it hasn't been a year yet it may flower after June which would identify it.

we moved in last october , you are right I'll wait another month or two

Gathering I think this might be a young beech tree. I drive past something which looks like it on the way to work.

Thanks Wow
