I feel sure you really do know the Sycamore / Maple trees. Possibly not by
name but these are the trees that produced the 'helicopter' seeds that as a
child you threw into the air to watch them slowly spiral down!! All children
have done this ,surely? ~~~ Having said 'seed' I do know they are winged

Out of curiosity thought I'd post this question.

We are seeing lots of these all over the lawns, backyards, side,
behind the garage. I'm guessing it is a tree since it is so well
spread. Does anyone recognize it?

The camera color is accurate. It has a reddish tinge in the leaves.


Definitely a maple of some variety. Many species reseed easily and will
sprout with abandon. Got any mature maples in the vicinity? These are
most
likely its offspring.

I wouldn't know a maple tree if it fell on me. I'll see if I can spot
a mature form of the leaf online and compare around the house. There
are a few big trees on neighboring properties, only one on ours but
they are everywhere.

Thanks to everyone for narrowing down the suspects.'
