It has distinctive 5-7 lobed leaves that are coarsely toothed. It can live for several hundred years. It flowers in April and May, producing small yellow green flowers on pendants. The fruit is winged and appears in late summer/early autumn enclosing a round seed. Picture taken 15th April near Old Warden, Bedfordshire.
