Autumn Leaf Trivia

[lewys-gp]

It is the first day of autumn in the northern hemisphere! And as a subscriber of numerous newsletters, I've come across a bit of autumn related trivia. Below, is a table of 16 leaves that can be found during autumn:

Admittedly, the newsletter is from an American organisation so I'm not sure how many of the tree species will be here in the UK. But, if this is something you're familiar with or fancy a go at, please do so!

I've hidden a word bank below so if you're really struggling, you can use these to help.

More info

Word bank: Mulberry, Maple, Japanese Maple, Tulip Tree, Pine, Sycamore, Oak, Chestnut, Giant Sequoia, Hickory, Locust, Beech, Willow, Palm, Holly, Gingko

Feel free to comment when you think you know one, but maybe wait for another community member to guess before posting again. 

I wonder if this would be up any of your streets, @Mi-Amigo  @Cleoriff  @pgn  @jonsie  @BobM  @gmarkj  @TallTrees @madasaf1sh? And anyone else who I may have missed, sorry.

Cheers 🌿🍁🍂🍃!

Funny - I thought 4 was Yew 😇🤣

@Anonymous might fancy a shot here too - although @lewys-gp has decided to 'leave' us to our own devices 😉 (thanks, @BobM )

I`ll take a shot at 16 - tulip tree ??

More info

I did look at the word blank to see what trees were in  the list - and took a wild guess at which one was the tulip tree. Hope that doesn`t count as cheating

[Cleoriff]

4 GIANT SEQUIOA or REDWOOD

Upon reflection and after looking at the tail-fin of an Air Canada jet (below), I think...

16: MAPLE

[Cleoriff]

5 JAPANESE MAPLE

[pgn]

I was going to go

5: OAK (in autumn colours!)

As you may see, @BobM and I hav been mulling over the source of these leaves, as at least two look, well, American ( @lewys-gp ?), and @Bambino is not on-hand atm to confirm or deny lol!

Is no. 11 a Linden leaf?
