I'm usually pretty good at figuring out what species of logs come into work, but this one had me stumped. Based on the bark, the log looked similar to poplar. But the log sent off green shoots this summer and developed leaves. They looked similar to cucumber magnolia but have serations along the edge of the leaf. This was from central Pennsylvania, any help would be appreciated!

That log doesn't look like one that would be sprouting.  It is probably just hosting a seed that was dropped there by a bird.

Sprouting of a log would be very typical of Balsam Poplar or Balm-of-Gilead.
