    It's not as pretty as a couple of years ago, but it's starting to lose it's leaves. So I thought I had better get a pic of it before it was nekid. I planted it 26 years ago. It was only as big as my thumb in the trunk and stood about 4 ft. tall.

    I'd have loved to have sugar maples, but can't, so thanks for letting me share yours.

    That's a beauty Capt. I had 5 old Sugar Maples here when I moved in 4 years ago. There are only 3 left. I'm letting a few volunteers grow around the yard. It will be YEARS before they are that beautiful.

    Quite a large tree you've got there. Isn't it great to watch them grow throughout the years?! It's very pretty, by the way!
