Hard to say as the leaves are so small, but if I had to choose, I would say a red leaved Norway Maple.

I wish it stays red. I've been wanting a red leaved maple tree. My 5 year old, 13 ft tall maple tree in front yard has color red leaves right now but the leaves are smaller than the picture above. Also, leaves will turn green when it becomes bigger. The color red is also like orange red.

The tree picture I posted above is from my backyard. There is an Autumn Blaze maple tree about 30 ft. However, the leaves aren't that red as well.

I'll post another picture after a month.

Thanks! :)

Looks like Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum), or maybe Freeman's Maple (Acer x fremanii).

While I can certainly not out of the relm of possible, I have not seen a Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum), or Freeman's Maple (Acer x fremanii anywhere near that dark on immature leaves. Which is why I believe a Red Leaf Norway (Acer platanoides) is more likely, as they can in fact be that color on immature leaves. Also note how dark the stem is in the background. However if by chance it is not a Acer platanoides, then it may have traits that are of interest to the nursery trade.

Show it later in the season, when it has mature leaves.

arktrees,

Leaf shape is quite wrong for platanoides. I'm *VERY* sure its not platanoides. saccharinum or fremanii, bet ya $20 ;)

famartin,
No bet from me, I'm too likely to be wrong, and I don't like anything but sure bets. ;-) BTW, I agree the leaf shape looks more like saccharium, but the color really bothers me, so I went with what I felt was the next most likely. Also the OP talked about "single trunk and grows straight nicely" which is often not the case with saccharium even at an early age, or at least that's the case here. Guess we will have a better ideal with later pictures.

Love your posts exchanges folks! Very nice to read. :)

I will definitely post pictures of this tree again.

The downy young leaves and leaf petioles excludes any possibility of Norway, Silver, or Red Maples, they're all glabrous (hairless).

Agree that identification needs more photos after the leaves have fully expanded.

Norways have milky sap, an easy way to differentiate them from silver maples.
