    Welcome to the forums Kboomg.
    I am sure Daniel will be right but often we need more clues than just a leaf.

    It is really hard to be accurate with an id with a solitary leaf ..without any scale to show the size.
    Leaves can vary a lot.
    A pic to show the whole tree/plant.
    Pic to clearly show any flowers/berries
    A pic of a twig to show whether the leaves are opposite or alternate...would be really helpful.

    The conspicuous, forward-pointing veins and associated leaf outline make me think Holodiscus instead.

    Ah, Holodiscus is more likely. Guess I limited my mental search to trees, which one would not typically associate with this genus.

    Thank you all for the reply's. I think you are all right and the Holodiscus is very close. It is a vine and I will know next year what the flowers look like to be more positive. Thank you all very much for your knowledge and help.
