Coming up in my garden right next to some forest (primarily oak mixed with beech, birch, maple) in southwest Sweden. Last year i dug the area out and removed (most) roots. Not much came up but this little sprout. I suppose it could be roots reaching in from the adjacent forest.

Just relaying info as I encountered it recently. I'm no gardener or farmer. Obviously digging it up is best and most effective, but the option is there. I was eradicating around a patio in a overrun garden to keep mosquito population down.
