  Reply | Contact Welcome Annette. Wow.I can see pic clearly!  Not easy looking from bottom up. Doesn't look right for Mulberry or Liriodendron tulipifera Close up pic would maybe help me to try and work out what it is. Please can you add them to this thread. Any other clues... flowers /seeds, etc. Think I have worked it out. Catalpa bignonioides. Possibly yellow leaf one Aurea. https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=catalpa+bignonioides+aurea&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1536&bih=776&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=7hbeT5GOG9K48gOLpsiJCw#um=1&hl=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=catalpa+bignonioides+aurea+leaf&oq=catalpa+bignonioides+aurea+leaf&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_l=img.12...584.1967.0.4214.5.5.0.0.0.1.1455.3746.6-1j2.3.0...0.0.HnkEsnJvIow&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=ad81ecf3558d4079&biw=1536&bih=776
