Is there a better group for this question?
I have been trying to ID a tree that I have in my yard. Please help if you can.
- It is in the upper 3rd of Georgia east of Atlanta.
- 50 feet tall
- bark looks like Sweet Gum (but is not)
- leaves are: ** untoothed simple (5 to 6 inches long) ** dark green in summer ** turn dark red in august (seems early) ** begin falling in late august (nearly bare by Nov)
- Does not drop limbs regularly
- seemingly uncommon as there are no others around
I have looked on lots of tree and leaf ID websites but have not found it yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks, TD
