ASH-LEAVED MAPLE

 

Health Centre car park again: this time it's not berries but maple samaras making this ash-leaved maple (Acer negundo) spectacular up to Christmas.

The stems are green and the leaves , which are mostly gone by now, are pinnate, meaning they have between 3 and 5 leaflets.


There are variegated and pink forms of this tree, which is also known as Box Elder although it is neither an elder nor a box tree.
