Question
Hi, I'm currently looking to identify this plant, I was wondering if you would by chance be able to help me. This is from a tree in Gorham, Maine. There are no visible flowers or fruits at this point in the year (mid-summer).
Answer
Dear corylemay, this plant is a cultivar of Fagus sylvatica (European beech) that has prominently lobed leaves. Most leaves of this species grown in the northeast have remotely toothed leaves without any lobes. Best wishes.
