    Last one for today. This deciduous shrub or small tree appears to be a Rhus and considering where it was growing it is most likely a Chinese species. Other than the foliage and to note that the plant has a rather horizontally spreading crown, I can't provide any more to go on. I haven't seen it flower or fruit.

    Looks rather like Chinese pistachio to me.

    Thanks, but I don't think so, Ron. There's a Pistacia chinensis growing not too far away and it's not the same thing.
