The Identification Thread....perhaps?

Hey! You get it :)

I’m not particularly up on my American vines, but I ran it through an ID app and it suggested Fox Grape, Vitis Labrusca. Any signs of fruiting? I had no idea that various wine grape varieties were bred from this species, but might be a good find.

I ran it through a couple of times with two pictures and this is what it came up with both times. The app is not fool proof though so could be completely wrong. It also suggested bur cucumber and english ivy as secondary options. I know it’s not the ivy.
It just looks like Ivy to me and we have it here climbing up at least 30 feet on trees. It has become a terrible invasive nearly as bad a:mad:s Himalayan blackberries.
 
Can this be anything other than trident maple? I've been collecting seeds and growing them for a few years now. I just want to make sure that I'm not wasting time developing something else than I wanted.
Looks like trident maple to me, particularly the lack of noticeable teeth on the leaf, and the exfoliating bark strips on the trunk.
