Interesting article Len......<<Red maples are not taking over everywhere; on soil most favorable to sugar maples, for instance, the sugar maples eclipse them.>> Thank the lord for this one. I don't know your origin Len but if you ever saw a large Sugar Maple standing alone in a pasture in the fall you would understand. These are the most majestic of all the hardwoods. Their fall color of deep blazing orange and the perfect symmetrical shape of these trees make them stand out in any forest as well. Contrast the Red Maple's multi stem shape with an easy rot trunk and small leaves it is indeed a weed. The trunk is weak and as often with fast growers it tends to break apart before it can grow truly large. We often called them swamp maples in NJ. That's where they should stay IMHO. pez
