Thanks for the info on Norway maple, Willie.

Robin, all maples seed themselves in readily. Norway maple is considered an invasive alien, as it's not native and will crowd out native species. They are a beautiful tree, but shouldn't be planted. As far as I know it is now illegal in MA to import, sell, or propagate Norway maples. Those beautiful ones with the dark purple foliage produce seedlings that have green foliage. Here is a pic I took of a gorgeous Norway maple in Plympton, MA last November on Thanksgiving day.
