I'm in Silver Maple central and how they produce the whirlybirds :0)
Once in a while they'll not be many of them but usually it is a full
blown gutter clogging week from hell :0(

I have leaf blown them into piles and run them through a grinder for
mulch. They heat up nicely, but if you don't gring them up, man do
they produce a stench!

Around here (SW Chicago area) just learned to live with 'em.

Me, I had 4 cut down this year - but had 6 trees put up in their place.
2 being Maples, but Red Sunset, not Silver!
