Liquidambar styraciflua
The dried sap makes a chewing gum substitute, the seeds are edible, and the leaves are antibacterial.
Reclaimed farmland
This is definitely sweetgum,thought I had a picture of the bark too, may have been one that did not load, will see if I can find it.
is this sycamore? You might find Lacy bugs here and also mealy bugs. Also the brown leaves means a disease called " Bacterial Scorch"
