Water Maples: Trees with faults, but handsome nonetheless 2011-03-03 - Old Gradyville RD, Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Water Maples: "J. M. Shelley calls the maples in our Gradyville yard water maples., writes Sharon Whitehurst. "Haskell Rogers has mentioned transplanting them as saplings shortly after this house was built in 1980. The roots are indeed shallow, causing ridges which get skinned by the riding mower in some places. The slender branches are delicate and we find them littering the yard after wind and rain. In spite of their faults they are handsome trees." Sharon Whitehurst sends this link to more on the tree: Acer_saccharinum.

An unflattering account of the Water Maple as the enemy, no more welcome than Johnson grass, kudzu, nodding thistle and atonal music. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
