I think it looks sort of like Acer tridentatum. If it is Acer tridentatum, it should turn nice yellow orange or red colors in the fall.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I couldn't find any references to
Acer tridentatum doing searches. Perhaps a typo?

In the fall, the leaves stay bright green until the first hard frost whereupon they die and drop off. Sort of like a contorted filbert I have that is supposed to produce catkins later on in the year but doesn't.

I used a couple of those online plant ID keys and the closest I came was a red oak, but that is not right either.

The leaves don't wilt during hot, windy days - they stay bright green. I've never seen any leaf scorch.

Kind of makes me think weed or something that is going to turn out really noxious one of these days.

A. tridentatum is now called A. buergerianum, but that isn't what you have anyways. There is an Acer that MAY be it, considering its toughness and the leaf shape: Acer ginnala (Amur maple). It looks a lot more like what's in your picture.

Hi, the latest on this is that I went to the Coorperative Extension in Reno and they tentatively identified it as Morus Alba, a White Mulberry. What was throwing everyone was the leaves. Apparently, Mulberries can have several different leaf types on the same tree, and I was posting the biggest ones. They will be getting back to me later on in the week (hopefully). If it is a tree that actually grows here, it is going to have to be transplanted out of the wild flower bed and into one of the Indian burial ground spots. Death sentence, maybe.........but Walmart does have a lot of amendments on sale.
