Well---I planted it! I guess in 1970 or 1971 ? We moved into this house in 1969.

New development---everyone wanted quick shade....Didn't know much about
gardening back then either....

There is second, different and smaller Maple a little bit away from the Silver one..
I think it is a red maple?? A Swamp maple??? Never knew for sure...
Leaves turn yellow in the fall--and fall off within a week...
The branch structure is totally different...more "dainty'....

BUT--nothing dainty about this one roots either. They all all over and many
are above the ground...I am always tripping on them....
