This tree or trees is/are growing right by the side of a city street on an empty lot. These are lower leaves but the upper leaves are not lobed. I did not see any figs but didn't have time to really look. Maybe these are not even part of the whole tree since they appear to be suckers around the base.

It also looks very similar to an oakleaf hydrangea.

It looks to me what my family in zone 7 use to call a cut paper tree. It grew fast and was sort of a junk tree. The tulip tree leaf is smooth. The cut paper tree leaf is rough and if I remember correctly, much lighter underneath. Been a long time since I've seen one.

You know you love figs when everything starts looking like a fig leaf. :).. I was walking out earlier this year and stumbled upon an entire patch of figs. I was ready to egt down on my knees and thank mother nature for all the fabulous figs.. Then I realized they were all under an old oak tree. False alarm. :)
