I see a lot of these trees in and around my neighborhood. They all produce resplendent fall colors. Much more so than than others. Do you know what kind of tree it is?

Really need a pic of one leaf, but those look like maple trees.

hard to tell exactly from so far, but looks like the leaf structure resembles a Maple.

Need better shot of individual leaf. I wanted to say maple, but bark looks oak.

Why would an abortionist know anything about trees?

Cool. I'll grab a closeup shot of the tree and a leaf when I go home from work.

Leaf pics will help.

Looks kind of oakish to me.

Where is this located? If it's in La, an oak shouldn't be that color yet.

Sugar Maple

Where do you live? Looks like sugar maple to me. They are typically more orange and yellow than red maples, and the leaves are bigger and less deeply lobed. They are more common the further north you go (and have better color).

ETA: Nativebullet beat me to it!

What's the one closest to the cinder block wall with very few leaves left?

Is that a china berry?

Don't you think it'd be helpful to tell us where on this planet this is? Oh and post a leaf pic too.

I can see why you would guess that. The real china berry-not tallow My answer is: I don't know. My guess is: Black Walnut.
