Curious as to what this tree is...

[GT1]

Happened upon this tree on my walk this evening.

Such unusual leaves.

Can anyone identify please.

Thanks in advance.

looks like a tulip tree leaf albeit the scallops look a bit deep.

Indian bean tree.

 

Changed my mind, it is a variation of Tulip tree

Tulip tree was my first thought. Leaves don’t look quite the norm though

There is a version of the Tulip tree referred to in the USA as" yellow Poplar " were the leaves are more like this one . Could it be that ?

It is a tulip tree, but with leaves like that  I think that’s the oriental version.

Yes Stubby. You’re right, yellow poplar is one of the names the Yanks give to the Tulip tree, because over there I guess it grows like poplar.

In reality the Tulip tree is actually part of the magnolia family. I only know this because we planted an Avenue of Tulips on the estate I work on, so I researched the tree.

Also known Stateside as Rainbow Poplar due to the occasional rainbow array of colours of the timber in a mature specimen
