A Missouri tree with bright red, seven-pointed, fan-like leaves that hold color until snow suggests sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Sweetgum leaves are star-shaped with 5–7 lobes; fall color ranges from red to purple to yellow.
Some maples (e.g., red maple, sugar maple) have multiple lobes but typically have notched sinuses. Sweetgum lobes are more pointed and radiating.
For certainty, compare leaf shape, fruit (spiky sweetgum balls vs. winged maple samaras), and bark.
