Acer campestre ?
....possibly 'Evelyn' ('Elsrijk' aka: Queen Elizabeth) -

A great park or street tree when tended to.
The poor tree in this photo doesn't seem to have seen much attention in awhile.

Or
Acer buergerianum ? - Trident maple

and NO to everyone.

yes, it hasn't been tending too, and actually looks rather old.

only about 8 inch diameter if i remember.

No Acer at all.

No hawthorn at all.

you all stink, no one is golden yet.

Okay, what about a "sad" Fraxinus nigra (Black Ash)?

Laburnum - no wonder it's still alive with all that neglect!

I've got a quick question, Xman:
Have you ever seen this tree in bloom?

The reason I ask is because it looks like it's a graft.
Since all the scaffold limbs arise from around one center... maybe even bud-grafted.

There is a very unusual tree - Laburnocytisus adamii that is a genus grafted hybrid between Laburnum anagyroides and Cytisus purpureus.
The way to identify this tree is that its flowers are of 3 color types: light yellow-golden and yellow-pinkish Laburnum-like flowers.

It will revert to Laburnum if appropriate care isn't done to maintain the grafted tissue.

no i have not seen this tree in bloom, but it apparently blooms because it had seed pods.

see picture.

owner did not know what kind of tree it was and maybe didn't have an interest in it. it was at the beginning of the old driveway that was in recent years covered up and now grass.

i didn't know the tree either, but it stuck in my mind. Later, I had a bee keeper customer that just bought one, i planted it for him and i recognized the foliage.

Thanks, Xman.
The tree may have reverted so the original grafts of Cytisus are gone and the tree re-sprouted from its Laburnum base.
Hence the present day Laburnum scaffolds.
If there was a previous owner then the history of the tree may be lost...oh well.

Carry on.
