Hi,

I have a little "book" for identifying trees. No problem with trees very
common to the midwest US, i.e. oak, maple, sycamore.

Next door is a medium-size tree with palmate leaves which have 3 points
each. Seed is helicopter-type, fall in the spring.

Anybody have some idea what kind of tree this might be?

I have never seen a tree like this and I don't know what it could be
called but it sounds very pretty.

It is pretty, and makes a great shade tree. Twizzlers clog the gutters,
'tho, and it takes fo'ever to rake all the leaves in the fall.

There's several of them around here, but they couldn't be -too- common
to the area: the tree is not in my book of trees often found in Missouri
(with about 35 tree types).
