Is this a maple tree?
Glasgow,
United Kingdom 
This beautiful tree is right outside my window. It is around 15 feet high with beautiful tawny red leaves. It goes bald in the winter no flowers or berries. Is it a maple tree? Its around 20 years old. Than you, Liz.

It looks like a maple tree. A close-up of the leaves would help.

if the leaves are a single blade then it isnt an acer. this does look as if it is from what i can see of the leaves.

Yes I'd be very surprised if it wasn't an Acer.

Hi Liz, do the leaves look at bit like a Sycamore? If so it is undoubtedly an Acer - probably palmatum 'Atropurpureum'

It's a beauty. I go for Acer as well.
