MYSTERY TREE: Manitoba maple

I have spent the day battling my forest of "weed trees", mostly Norwegian maples and Hawthorns. I found a couple of other trees that I wondered whether they might grow up into something I might want to leave. It led me and the Princess Pirate to a bush I have tried to keep manageable for years, and then similar small versions in Terra Cotta forest. We looked up the leaf shape in Trees of North America and wondered if it could be a maple.

We were right! I finally found it in Ontario's database. The mystery tree in my yard is a Manitoba maple!
