Help Identifying

[tnaz71]

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.

Thanks in advance

Do you have a size reference of any kind?

At first look I'd say it looks like a maple, tho I can tell you it's not hedge maple, Japanese maple, or Amur maple.

Anyone else?

Thanks for the reply. I should have put some measurement in there for the leaf, sorry about that. Here is another picture.

Looks like Sweetgum.

I'd say sweetgum, too. There is some variation in sweetgum leaves, but not a lot. 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.
