Leaf ID

[WoodWrangler]

Alright ... who can help me identify these young leaves?

I plucked two from some young "trees" and one from what might be a vine, or horizontal tree :no:

Any help is appreciated in ID'ing the plant they belong to is appreciated!

1.

2.

3.

Sasafrass, Redbud, and some sort of Maple (although I would need a little more research to be positive)

Never mind the Maple, on re-reading your post you mentioned a vine. The third is probably Boston Ivy.

The second could be Catalpa if the leaf is very large, it's hard to tell the scale in your pics.

The second one definitely looks like a redbud. Not sure about the 3rd.

To help size them I took the picture atop ... well, my CookOut burger tray!

 

[WoodWrangler]

I got the leaves mixed up ... forgot which came the "vine"

Well you like to make this a real challenge don't you

I think the third one is a wild grape: http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/wild_grape.htm. What do you think Dave?

Does that mean we'll have wine next year?:rotflm:

I think that you might be right. Generally grape leaves are larger, but if growing in a sunny area they could be that size.

Maybe grapes, if the birds don't get them first.

Here's a good link I've used before:
http://www.oplin.org/tree/leaf/byleaf.html

Based on it, I'd say:

1. Sassafras
2. Redbud
3. Not sure - Hedge Maple seems to be the closest. Otherwise it's not in the list, and since it's a tree identification site, being a grape leaf makes sense (they don't cover those).

I grew up in an Italian neighborhood when I was a kid. Everyone, including us non-Italians, had a grape arbor in their back yard. #3 is definately a grape of some sort.

A quick Google search shows there is a wild grape (generally considered a "weed", but can be tamed) native to NC, and two imports (Bunch Grapes and Muscadine) that occasionally go wild.

We have those wild grapes, and they are very good!! I also agree with the sassafras.

#1 is definitely Sassafras. 2 & 3 depend on if tree or vine. #3 is definitely not Muscadine grape. May want to try here:

If #2 is the vine, it may be pipevine (aristolochia macrophylla).

Does the 2nd leaf come from a tree with giant "beans" hanging off it?

Let me see if I can snap a couple of pics this afternoon and get them up later of the tree/vine these came from.

I would have to agree with DaveO , #1 is a sassafras, it should have dark-blue berries (depending on the size) #2 is an american redbud, it should have small flowers on april-may then seed pods later on #3 looks like a wild grape or a muscadine A sassafras has twigs that are aromatic is one way of telling

#3 looks very close to some Catawba Grape plants I saw at Lowe's today.
