Beautiful capture through the window Diana, but it is not a gum tree. Gums are evergreen trees. This looks like a type of maple or a liquidamber :) fav
@gilbertwood We where told it was a Sweet gum tree by a tree surgeon but we are not sure he is right , thank you for your comment we will have to try and find out more about it
@snowy Arhh! Just solved the problem!! Liquidambers are called sweetgums - something I never knew! It's certainly not related to the Australian gum trees :)
