looks like a white cedar tree to me, Melia azedarach, we have them everywhere. They attract those itchy hairy catapillars. The old round up wont even kill these trees. Also they send up suckers meters away. Very tuff this tree.

Not a platanus X acerifolia, platanacea, being close to the city they withstand grime frost and snow, their bark peels in winter. Also have those hairy itchy balls that drop off the tree and have spikes. Looking at the leaves sort of maple looking!

I don't know, but I'd get the climber out of it before it strangles it. :P
