  • If the lobes appear to radiate from several points along the midrib, the leaves are considered pinnate and it is either an oak or a holly tree.
  • Trees with star-shaped leaves with pointed lobes are likely Sweetgums. And leaves that look like they have been cut off or flattened at the top with two lobes on other side of the mid-rib are probably Poplars. Sycamore trees have big leaves that are larger than four inches with shallow lobes and alternating (not directly across from one another,) on the branch. Maple trees have three to four lobes and are arranged opposite of one another on the branch.
  • If the lobes seem to radiate from a central point like fingers on a hand, it is called palmate and it is a maple, sweetgum, sycamore, or poplar.
