too good, and too easy, I was teasing some of the dendrologists here, and utterly failed.

But, it does show how some trees have different shaped leaves in different parts of the crown, remember the one Asy got last year?  Same tree.

I'm gonna claim that I thought "Mulberry" as soon as I saw that pic, but since it had already been identified several times, it is a moot point.  A point that is not moot, however, is that it is a very interesting leaf.  While Mulberry is noted for varying leaf forms, this particular one is unique and exquisite.  It reminds me of a cluster of Taj Mahals. :) :)

Not especially, but what has hungry got to do with wanting to eat? ;)
