Maple Tree Identification

[KINGSLAYER]

Just wondering exactly what kind of maple this is.

My bet would be Acer rubrum, Red maple

Looks like a red to me as well, who is going to make you a pot for that

Grimmy

RUBRUM Indeed...

Awesome thanks guys. I love that tree. We planted it when it was only a few feet tall about 20 years ago.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is to plant one today.

20 years in the found ehh? Time for a trunk chop, there is no movement low on the trunk, and I think you should dig it out and re-work the roots, maybe add a few root grafts as the nebari is out of balance.

This one will need some work to get it down to size, but what an oinker you will have when you are done!

You guys are surely right but it looks like an Acer horizontalis to me
