Default Silver Leaf Maple

expounded:

uhhhhh... silver maples are considered "trash" trees. they grow fast, they are soft
and break off easily in winds endangering everything close by. their roots destroy.
they really are considered a highly undesirable tree. Ingrid


Yet the 350 year old specimen in front of my mother's house is truly
magnificent.
