[QUOTE="Buzzdraw, post: 3149302, member: 385"] It's one of despicable, fast-growing, weak-wooded, wind-sensitive Silver Maples. Note the underside of the maple leaf is a silver color. They grow fast but aren't much of a useful tree. Frankly I'd get rid of it, carefully choosing a native species that won't get too big for your lot size. Definitely plant whatever you choose far enough away from your house so it won't fall on it in a big wind. Some specie's roots can wreck your driveway as well as home foundation/slab. If chosen correctly, you are planting a tree for your children and grandchildren to enjoy. If wrong choice made it can cost you big dollars in damages in a couple decades. [/QUOTE]
