Calling all tree/maple experts

Hi,

Can anyone help identify this variety of Maple? The pic of the branch isn't great but is meant to show a mix of smooth and rough bark.

Thanks

  • Not an acer, try liquidambar styraciflua.

  • Thanks Bamboogie.

    Just looked that up on tinternet and that looks spot on. This will be my 4th Autumn with this garden and I can't remember seeing it turn those lovely reds and oranges but looking forward to it.

    Also glad I know a good and friendly tree surgeon. My garden isn't small but it isn't "up to 20m" size either. 

     

     

  • I believe the autumn colour depends on a good summer to increase the sugars in the leaves - so you might be lucky this year image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
