Title: Not sure what tree it is
Post by: bhfury on August 29, 2009, 11:42:57 PM
Not sure what tree it is, late spring you would have though a swarm was on the tree with all those bee. Now, it has tons of seed pods. Anyone know what it might be?  It almost looks like it has a maple shaped leaf.

They look like the helicopter seed pods of a maple tree but the picture needs to be more of a closeup to tell for identification.

Could it be a sycamore tree or a box elder?

I looked both of those up and those aren't them.  My guess is it might some sort of maple.  Here's the leaf off of the tree.

It's a maple tree, do you still want some seed pods?

Looks like "Box Elder" a.k.a. Ash Leaf Maple.
