    This was at a house i worked on today. I thought a sugar maple til i pulled one of the leaves near the top. (i was two stories up on the ladder) Bark and lower leaves look like sugar.

    I think you got a deformed leaf there? :eek: Maybe a new one? The other leaves in the second pic look like red maple, and the bark could be too...

    i was on the ladder next to a limb and all the leaves looked like the same so i plucked one. The thought crossed my mind that the leaves havent fully matured. If you look at the bark pic you can see the red ladder still up.
