T tnaz71 Yamadori Messages 77 Reaction score 1 Location Southern California USDA Zone 9 Apr 23, 2011 #1 My neighbor gave me a little tree & didn't know what type it was. I am thinking it maybe a Sweetgum but by looking at pictures the leaves have noticeable differences. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated.

It would really, really help to see: 1. A picture of the leaf WITH its petiole (stem) attached. 2. A picture of the tree -- and if it is an older tree, its bark.
