Hi,
I have a little "book" for identifying trees. No problem with trees very
common to the midwest US, i.e. oak, maple, sycamore.
Next door is a medium-size tree with palmate leaves which have 3 points
each. Seed is helicopter-type, fall in the spring.
Anybody have some idea what kind of tree this might be?
Thx,
P

Look up box elder, or ash maple and see if that is it. Maple and ash
are the common helicopter seeds.

Thanks. Appears to be in the ballpark, but BE has the pinnately compound
leaves. My tree looks to be palmately compound.

Surely a maple, but since in a yard, could be any number of cultivars.

Looks like no maple I've ever seen. I can post a pic if you're
interested.
Dense urban area. There are several between the sidewalk and the street.
The city (St. Louis) plants most trees in this location. They commonly
plant scarlet/pin oak, silver maple, bradford pear.
Bradford pear is a cultivar?
