Hi,
I have been trying to identify this tree which is growing in a cramped
area in the back of my yard in Massachusetts. I tried a few online
sites, but couldn't find any leafs like this one.

The leaves are ~ 12" long. We've only noticed this type of tree once
before in the area (in the Providence zoo).
Any help is appreciated. We are trying to figure out what type of tree
to plant for shade, and find this one very interesting (and think it
might provide good shade, while still keeping an open feel).
Thanks,
Chris
