I'm trying to learn how to differentiate these species. This tree didn't have any bract and the leaves were large so I'm thinking Americana. I didn't have a camera so stealing a few leaves was the best I could do.

You are learning how to, um, prune...

Quoting:

Your family lets you wak around nekkid? What were you thinking?

As a hint, when next photographically challenged: note other characteristics about the unknown, like bark (flaky, smooth, ridged/furrowed); form (narrow, wide, tall, short); site (street tree, lawn specimen, forest tree; etc.

Every wee bit helps to produce those otherwise one thousand words.
