What is kind of Maple is this?

[SectorB]

I have Maple in my yard that I have lost the information on. Just looking for input on what type it is. Thanks in advance.

looks like a silver maple, but not 100% sure.

Maybe red. Probably not silver.

leaf looks like norway, bark looks more like red. I'd say norway.

It's definately not silver or red. The leaf looks like a norway to me. Take one of the leaves and break the stalk. If a milky looking sap comes out it's a norway.

I'll second Norway maple.

Norway it is. Man you guys are good. Thank you.

I'll join in on the Norway bandwagon. The bark looks a little like silver, bit the leaf screams Norway.

An additional proof - come fall, the leaves will remain on the tree much longer than most other (non beech or oak) species. They'll remain green longer and turn yellow. I've seen norways hang onto their leaves even after many are dried and bown.
