I've come across anther cropper. I think/hope it will be an easy one for anyone other than in my naivety. I got permission from the local cemetery to help myself to a very old cut down tree, as a result I have some massive bits of wood to work with, but again I'm struggling with what it is.
The still living tree beside it is the same, so I photographed it.
It is defiantly palmate in leaf structure (hey, eh. I learned something). At first I thought Sycamore, but as can be seen in the close up leaf photo the concave inner sections are curved, my research sows Sycamore should be sharply angled. So then I though Field Maple, but that is a massive long shot. And my research showed the tips should be curved but the leaf image shows them to be pointy. So I'm at a loss.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
