    I am trying to identify a tree street that I would like to plant. It has gorgeous fall colour right now ranging from purple to orange and has a translucent quality. Mature trees seem to be about 40 feet tall with a rounded habit. The leaves are lanceolate I believe and about 4 " long. The parking lot at Home Depot on Terminal Avenue in Vancouver is full of these trees but they also appear in many areas of the Vancouver area as street trees.
    thanks for your help

    Possibly Fraxinus americana or F. angustifolia.
