Name That Plant!

maple tree ID needed

6 years ago

Growing in Ontario (not mine, ID requested on another website). Guesses are Japanese maple, Silver maple. Neither of those are correct in my opinion. Not sugar maple, manitoba maple, norway maple. Is it Japanese maple? The leaves aren't right for Japanese maples, are they?

Thanks for any help with this!

Not Japanese Maple. Break off a leaf...is the sap milky? Looks like Norway Maple to me.

Thanks, I'll ask the person who has it. I think what is throwing me off is the crinkled look of the newly opened leaves. We have Norway Maples all around :( and I'm pretty familiar with the mature leaves (and the millions of seedlings).
