That's not a problem with the kinds of maple that naturally grow in Britain, even though the sugar maple looks rather similar to the Norway maple. My neighbour has a Norway maple right on the property boundary, so close that the expansion of the trunk is knocking the fence over. It has suckers from the base that I hack away at whenever I feel like it, and it never weeps sap.
