STRIPED MAPLE (Acer pensylvanicum)
MOUNTAIN MAPLE (Acer specatum)
Other names: Maple, scrub maple, moosewood;
possibly vinemaple

VERY POOR

These maples are similar to the vine maple of the Pacific States. They grow through the Great Lakes and Eastern States in moist stream bottoms and swampy areas. They are more brush than trees. 

There is no record of these trees ever being recovered, if ever marked, as an original bearing tree. 

Do not use these maples for bearing trees. It would probably be a waste of time. Other, better trees are always available where they grow.
