That would be soft maple, much better than poplar! Jay with that shaggy of bark pretty sure it's Red, Silver usually has smoother bark. Around these parts Red is alot more common than Silver, not sure about down there in In. or Oh.

mayhem said:I may be wrong here, but if the leaves were red, its red maple...if they were silverish, its silver maple. The red leaves are very dark, and a very traditional maple leaf shape (think canadian flag), the silver maple is what we called a threadleaf maple...definitely a maple tree, but the leaves were almost fancy looking...very frilly.
Had both in my mom's yard...the silver maples looked like that bark, the red maples were very smooth bark...to be fair, the silver maples were probably 40-50 years older, about 24-30" in diameter at chest height., red maple was about 15" or so. I'm going there this weekend, I'll try to remember to get some photos.
