ok so context, found a seed just staying to germinate on a walk in the woods (central scotland) and ive taken it home. if anyone has any idea what it could end up being that would be great! was found near stinging nettles and ferns, plant ID things keep comming up with hemp and im sure that cant be true cause it doesnt just grow in the middle of a woods out of nowhere.
thanks!

I had a maple–maybe a Japanese maple–sprout in a neglected pot, and it looked a lot like that. In the Pacific Northwest.
I am pretty sure this is a maple, based on the wing-looking leaves. Were there red maples or maybe water maples where you were?
Looks like a maple
According to a plant app, it’s possibly a Boxelder, in the Maple family.
You also have something called a Field Maple That is native to Scotland
Looks like Avocado!
This is an Alvarado seeding. Not sure.

Looks like some type of *Acer* to me. Some maples make COPIOUS seeds and I have personally pulled probably a few hundred thousand seedlings out of the ground over the years. So I’m very familiar with what they look like. Could be boxelder, red maple, sycamore maple, norway maple, … really any large maple.
