Christmas tree leaf

Sassafras tree, I think. On a tree I pass nearly every day on campus. I shot several leaf shots I liked, but the others can be improved upon more than this one can…

Hmm. Maybe not a sassafras, judging from other images online. Help, anyone?

Great contrast of red and green! Looks like some kind of oak leaf, but I might be way off.
