Moved into a new house with a 3 foot stick planted on the east side of the house (6 hours of sun/day). Coming to life now with new leaves. Is this an American Red Maple? Thank you, Daren
Hi Daren,
yes, I think you are correct. Red maple – Acer rubrum– which is very common over much of the United States including the southeast.
