What kind of Maple?

[Jay106n]

I’m just curious what kind of maple tree this is. It is a bright yellow this fall, sometimes it turns orange. It was still green just last week. Everything else on my property, including the other maples, have dropped their leaves already. I don’t plan on dropping it, just would like to know. I figure you guys would know.

I'd say it's a Sugar Maple.

Norway maple

I would say that is a Sugar Maple based on the leaves and the bark.

It sure looks like Sugar Maple to me

Boy my sugar maples have way different bark than that.

I did a YouTube search and found this video, it is very informative. Just get over the geek factor... I have determined it is a Norway Maple. Thank you all for your input.

IMO young norway maple.

Could it be Acer pseudoplatanus (Sycamore Maple)?

It's Norway maple. Norway is pointy just like what you've got. Sugar maple is more rounded. If you could look at the seeds, that would further solidify it.

I'm sure that's Norway Maple (FWIW).

Pull leaf off of the twig. The petiole of Norway maple will have small amount of white milky sap exuding from its petiole.

Also, the buds are larger and blunt on Norway (pointy on sugar). Bark is tight and uniform on Norway, but platy, blocky and/ or more irregular on sugar.
