I live in South Carolina, USA. I recently saw a beautiful tree in red
Fall foliage on a TV program; it is in Lorie, France. I was able to take
2 photos from the television to aid me in identifying it. One shows its
overall form, the other shows a leaf closeup.
I asked tree experts at nearby Clemson University, and their best guess
in a Black Gum, although several suggested it may be a European
specie unknown to them. The logical person to ask would
be someone in France, but I don't speak the language.
I have two opinions from the UK: Elm and Persian Ironwood.
Can anyone identify this tree?
Thank you,
Don

Who am I to disagree, but...
the leaf structure of those in the fuzzy picture taken from TV and those of published pictures are quite a bit different. There is far more texture and serration to the leaf in published form, where my picture shows a more persimmon or tupelo like character.
