Trees Love Tree identification!

There’s this beautiful tree in my front yard that has been here since I was a kid. When I move out and buy my own house I would like to plant my own. Do any of you know of what kind of tree it is?

Definitely a maple of some sort I believe, maybe Japanese maple? However, this gets confusing but this is a marijuana subreddit, for what you’re looking for check out r/marijuanaenthusiasts, that’s the actual tree subreddit

No problem! It’s a really common mix up for obvious reasons, very pretty tree though!

Send me a better Pic of some leaves and your approximate location and I'll take a look. Bit I agree looks like a Japanese maple to me. Maples are so crossbreed seven ways to Sunday it can be hard to tell them apart. My education was in wild trees not landscaping trees but I'd take a look. Lots of stoners like trees this happens pretty regular.

What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs and over your neighbor's dog? What's great for a snack and fits on your back?

Japanese maple, there are over 1000 different varieties of them but I’m sure you can find what you’re looking for!

I can definitively say that this is not weed. You need the help of marijuana enthusiasts.
