Silver maple (Acer saccharinum)

Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) is a prevalent deciduous tree in the eastern United States and southeastern Canada. It typically reaches heights of 15 to 25 meters and is noted for its rapid growth and preference for sunny locations. The leaves are distinguished by their deep, angular notches between the five lobes, more pronounced than those of many other maples. Commonly referred to as 'Water maple,' it thrives in wet environments such as riverbanks and floodplain areas.
