I am wanting to transplant a number of maple saplings growing wild on my property. I want to make sure they are maples, however.
It is my understanding that maple and sweetgum trees this small (1 to 2 feet tall) look very similar. The only difference I can see is that maples have opposite limbs and sweetgums have alternating limbs. Is this correct?
I would also like to know if I can pot them and grow them inside over the winter to protect them or do they need their winter dormancy and exposure to the winter elements to grow properly. thanks for the help.
