Doc Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This was taken in New Hampshire USA in autumn - I assume its some sort of maple but can anybody help with a more specific ID please? Many thanks Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhandol Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 looks like American Sweetgum, or Sugar Maple? Hard to tell those two apart from a distance though.....if the leaves have 5 distinct pointy lobes. then its the Amercan sweet gum.......and if the leaves have 3 large jagerdy lobes with 2 smaller lobes at edges, the probably Sugar Maple.

Radim Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 It looks like some type of hornbeams, maybe Carpinus betulus Fastigiata Pyramidialis Radim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Really hard to make out the shape of the leaves. But what I see in upper right against the sky they don't look like maple leaves. Of which I'm very familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinS Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sugar maple; Acer saccharum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Sorry I cannot help Kumar as I only have info on British trees and wild plants otherwise I search the web then come here like you have done. However lesson learnt. Always take closeups of plant leaves, buds, flower, petals while you are there for future reference as I do. It all helps to identify trees/plants etc. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Sugar maple; Acer saccharum. Thanks KevinS - I think thats the one! Cheers Kumar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marianne Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 From the color my guess is sugar maple too - but hard to be sure without seeing the leaves up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABan Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Almost certainly a sugar maple, considering it's in New Hampshire. But, since they're very closely related to the Norway maple, and those are frequently planted as parkway trees in the States, there's a chance it's that instead. As mentioned before, a leaf closeup would settle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
