The last picture shows the leaves, I found just a few, on the pink tree. I have three other trees if anyone knows what they are. The last few pics, except for the leaves on the table, was bigger last year..a tree fell on one side of it when a friend was cutting down another tree nearby. Each set of pics starts with the long view of the tree itself. I believe those are suckers growing from the base of the last tree. All these trees are in wet area. Our yard stays mushy until about mid July.

Looks like a crabapple to me....the leave are the same, just smaller because they are new. Now, what is the next tree?

BTW no thorns on any of the trees, the other day, I was looking at the pics when I said it had thorns.

Last year a family of coons decimated my sweet corn, had two varieties planted and they got all of one and the vast majority of the other, I "removed" 7 of them and then got a skunk.
Looking to get a few chickens this year and I know there are a lot of hawks, owls, and a local fox I have seen in the garden so I am going to have to be careful about predator proofing. I am happy to have those other animals around. Racoons are just a big hassle.

Just talked to my niece. She asked me how to prevent and get rid of squash beetles. Last year she lost all her zucchini.
Jim?

Might look into "companion planting" might be able to plant something like marigolds with it that could deter the beetles.

Good idea. Good place to start. I'm sure she would like that idea. She's down in Kenosha cty. Thanks
