Well, lets see... how do i start this off.......... This past winter while clearing out some over brush behind my grain bins. I came across this small tree that i decided to keep. At the time it was winter , the leaves all dry and i thought it was some kind of a maple tree. Come spring the blossom looked like a peach tree. Then after a few weeks past to me it came pretty apparent that it was a southern sweet gum tree, because the woods around here are full of them.. Around Jan. i bought some amur maple seeds .. Well they are two foot saplings now and look to me just like what i call the sweet gum tree.. I don't really know now what is what.. I'm gunna post four pics the first three is the big tree , and the forth will be the small sapling .... thanks in advance .... Greg
