Question
Hello again, Here I have another Red Maple, Acer Rubrum, that looks significantly different from the other two I presented to Go Botony earlier. Interesting to me is that these trees, (there are 4, all different, one more to come), are all on my property, less than 100 feet or so of each other. Thank you for any information you may be able to give me. Happy Thanksgiving! Sue L-B, Salem Sound, Salem, Ma...
Answer
Dear SueLB, yes, this one looks to be Acer rubrum as well. This is another of the "hairy morphs" with abundant pubescence on the leaf blades. Beautiful trees. Again, keep in mind, this species is very morphologically variable. Individuals often looks somewhat different.
