This very broad tree with heavy trunks is really old. The tree comes from the northern United States. It belongs to the maple family. It is one of the compound-leafed maples.

Most maples have palmate leaves. The unusual leaf shape with 3 to 5 leaves makes this tree quite special. This feather maple also has a color deviation in the leaf. If you look closely, you can see that the leaf margin is creamy white!
