| Before you say liquidambar styraciflua, its definitely a Maple... sort of Palmatum-ish...maybe? It looks incredibly like Sweetgum leaves, but this tree has keys not prickly balls. I was told by owner that tree came from TxA&M Univ., as a grafted tree, but the grafted portion died and this maple is the rootstock. This tree (or part of it) has bonsai in its future. Thanks!    |

| Acer palmatum is the only maple I know of that is used as rootstock.

| Take a look at Acer truncatum. The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us. |
