Can anyone identify this plant from my garden?

Hi all, does anyone know what this is?

I think it’s a beech seedling. They grow into lovely big trees (in the right place)!

This is what Leaf Snap says

I think it looks more like a cherry than a beech. Beech leaves look like they are breaking out of cocoons when they start to come out and there arent any cocoons in the pic

Did it have brown leaves on it over winter, as beeches don’t tend to drop their leaves? Beech leaves tend to be rolled up and very lime green as they emerge, they then darken.

Can you post a single leaf close up, including the leaf stem? That'll quickly settle the beech v cherry debate.

This is the first time I've seen leaves, it was originally just a twig in the ground and it used to be where a rose was (so I was hoping for a new one!) Then it turned into the pic above.

Here is a close up

It's a cherry, identifying feature is these little glands on the stem - extrafloral nectaries.

Thanks all ☺️ it will have to go unfortunately. Not a good spot for a tree!
