I couldn't find a climate zone map or hypertext link on your website. I suggest that you add it or make it more prominent. Thanks. BTW, you have a beautiful website.

I have a beautiful old Silver Maple in my yard that keeps retaining water. My neighbor talked me into cutting off one of the large branches that was overhanging his fence and the area where the cut is on the trunk has recessed. I noticed water acbeepulation that didn't seem to drain out all summer long. I have a landscaper wbeepcomes to mow the grass and he said he's never seen anything like it. The water seems to be gone now that fall has set in. Any ideas?
Also, I had an over abundance of flying seed pods this year. I couldn't keep up with the clean up. Is this cyclicle?

My wife and I are birders but after taking a course to be certified as a "NYC Citizen Tree Pruner" we have added a tree ID field guide to the baggage we carry. In June 2008 while exploring Whidbey Island, Ocean County, Washington we stumbled on at least two (2) trees I suspect are the Kimball variety of the Oregon (Big Leaf) Maple. The sample leaf I took measured 15" accross and the trees had MOSTLY triple samaras.

The trees are in Ocean County WA. I mention that because your article lists only three other Washinton counties. They are located at a senic overlook on the right side of the main highway into Anacordes WA. The overlook is easily identified as it is maintained by the local Kiwanis club and has on display a cross-section of a 907 year old Douglas Fir.

I "harvested" 2 of the triple samaras with the intention of attempting to force them to germinate with the hope of cultivating one or more here in Staten Island. Do I have a chance of success?

Can the fall colors of a silver maple be changed?

I bought a Silver Maple from Home Depot (here in Utah) and the leaves are turning Red in the fall. I thought Silver Maples turned Yellow. Would this actualy be another type of maple with the grey/silver bark like a Sugar Maple? I think their leaves turn Red. - Gary

I'm looking for a diana maple. Has anyone heard of it? Does it go by a different name? A friend has one, doesn't remember where he purchased it. In the spring the new growth comes in red. Very pretty and different. I would very much like to purchase one.

We received a few single seed helicopters from my daughter wbeeplives in Oklahoma, I planted one and now I have what looks like a Silver Maple, it has grown really well here in Colorado Springs and is at present 3.5 ft tall. My question is how deep will the roots grow and is it safe to leave it where it's planted which is approx. 10 ft. from the house foundation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Nina

i have just set out three dwarf jap maples. one of the tree's leaves are shirveling up but only at the bottom of the tree, the leaves at the top still are looking good. am i watering to much or to little?

thanks.

This is the only name on the tag when we purchased the trees. I tried to find this on your list, but the closest I could come to a tree resembling our trees is the Autumn Flame Red Maple. We have three of these maples in our yard. One was purchased about four years ago and is growing very nicely at the entrance to our driveway on a flat area. The other two we purchased about a year apart and are planted on a slope in front of our house where it gets rather hot in the summer time. My problem is I am starting to notice dried leaf ends on both of these trees. They are getting the same amount of water as the other Maple and they are in good soil. What should I do?

i have to bury my beloved horse that i've had 32 years and i want to plant a tree in remembence of her. i've been thinking about the red maple. the reason i picked the red maple is she is a sorrel and she is still beautiful (like the maple trees); but i want a tree that will last for years to come as she has. where i'm burying her there is full sun and i want to ensure the tree is completely protected. sometimes we get flooded and we get critters that love to munch on our trees. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thanks..

I have a maple tree in by back yard. A few days ago a tonado went through my area. It took about a 40 to 50 foot limb making my beautiful maple almost am eye sore. Will it fill in? Or should I look into removing it. Please any advice? Sad in Ill.

We had two 2-1/2 dia. red maples (acer rubrum) planted in early june of this year. Since then we have been watering them weekly. We also live in a new housing sub-division where the topsoil is rather dry. Our concern is about half of the leaves on both trees are turning reddish in color and seems somewhat wilted. Are we watering them too much or not enough? Should we be concerned?

Thanks!

My maple tree is about 8 years old and it is loosing its leaves at the top of the tree. It is happening to several other maple trees in my neighborhood but this tree is the worst. I do not see any bugs on the tree. I have seen this on other trees in my town also. Is this something new for this year?

Any suggestions? Is there anything I do to prevent this? Will the leaves come back next year?

Thank you for your time.

We are considering the Coral Bark Japanese Maple for our front yard. I'm trying to find out about the root system for this particular tree. I don't want roots running on top of the ground. Thank you in advance for any info you could send.
