11. I've got 2 maples

I think they are a common species. When the tree service was here a few years ago, they trimmed the sweet gums, but not the maples. The sweet gums are bigger trees, but they don't shed twigs and limbs the way the maples do. There's a ranger station right up the road from me. I didn't know they'd do that.

Thanks for the info!
