It's not a very helpful photo - can you take a clearer one of the leaves? Smile

I sent DS to get some leaves. I've googled trifoliate leaves but nothing obvious has come up! I've tried bushes and trees.

I think it's an acer of some sort, possibly a Field maple looking at the leaf and the bark. The leaf has three main lobes and two smaller basal lobes.

Have you got the Seek app? You scan the leaf and it’ll tell you what it is.

I put it into Google lens and field maple does keep coming up - it looks v much like that.

It's a field maple (acer campestre) and is native to the UK. The leaves, bark and growth habit are all very distinctive.

I've googled trifoliate leaves but nothing obvious has come up! - it's not trifoliate - trifoliate means it has 3 leaflets, like a clover.
