This looked like a tree that had been cut down and sprouted out like a shrub. Maybe it is a shrub but the leaf looks like it's from a tree. It was growing in a garden in Easton, Maryland. All the leaves looked like this one and there were several of these plants growing in the garden, the largest one being about 7' tall and 6' wide. The leaves were aprox. 4" long by 3" wide. I have looked through many sources but can not find it. Anyone know what it is?
