Hi Guys well i thought there would be a huge response to a little challenge , but hey those that did Thankyou .

Dumper and Nishiki3 give yourselves a pat on the back for your efforts

These leaves are all Acer's/Maples . reading left to right

1/ Acer Platanoides - Norway Maple
2/ Acer Pseudoplatanus - Sycamore tree
3/ Acer Palmatum - Japanese Maple
4/ Acer Palmatum - Atropurpureum- Japanese Maple
5/ Acer Campestre - Feild/Hedge Maple

6/ Acer Japonicum - Anticontifolium -Full Moon Maple
7/ Acer Palmatum - Disectum - Atropurpureum
8 , 9 10 and 11 Acer Buergerianum sub species unknown 8/ New leaf 10 seedling both these are from the same parent plant possible Acer Buergerianum ssp formosanum or Buergerianum 11/ Is the normal Trident
12 / Acer Palmatum ssp unknown

Thankyou to those that put an effort in .As you can see research is definately worth the effort , yes that will continue to be on my agenda to I.D the Tridents correctly and the miniture Japanese Maple , however i don't rely solely on Google searches as a vast majority of info is definately misleading .Sometimes i ask here after i have exhausted my resources . Cheers Alpineart
