    Measures 7" x 7" not counting stem.

    I think this little tree was brought here when we had the state dump a load of wood chips. I do not recall seeing any others.

    Any idea what this tree might be? Leaf.jpg

    My first thought was sycamore.

    That's the only one I've come up with but not sure. It is a very young tree so the leaf could be extra large.

    I’d say it’s Sycamore

    That looks a lot like my mystery tree I haven't figured out.

    This one does not have sycamore bark - it looks like norway maple bark
    and there's no little sycamore balls - I've never seen any flowers or fruit.
    The tree is huge and was not planted.
    A lot of the leaves are a little smaller and look more like Dennis's . They were out of reach to grab for a pic. The tree is huge.

    Not really sure but after reading all the replies it does resemble both sycamore and aspen. Good size though. Hard to miss a leaf that big.
