Also, are you sure it's not a Liquidambar (sweet gum)? they look rather
like maples, but have alternate (one per node) leaves, rather than
opposite (two per node) leaves. (The flowers and fruits are also
different, but I don't recall Liquidambar flowering/fruiting anywhere
here.)

Looking at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plant...ges/9209.shtml
the expected height is 2.5m and spread 1.2m.

You misplaced the decimal point - the numbers convert to 25m and 12m.


Ah - centimetres, miilimetres, all foreign ;-)
Still looking a bit to big for the location.
Thanks for tracking it down.
