My son M in his attempt at putting names to all the trees in the greater Sparta area sent me these photos.
Does anyone know what they are or do I have to consult the books?

Acer platanoides

Oron,
Many thanks,
He asks if this is the same Acer

Hi Hilary,
No, they are different species, Acer pseudoplatanus. As you can see the clusters of seeds arranged in different way [elongated like grapes shapein the second] as well as different bark. The size of the leaves is also different but difficult to realize from the photos.

Many thanks, I will tell my son they are two different trees
