Small Maple Trees

[Ryan Berger]

While it was pouring and hailing out yesterday I noticed my gutters were not draining. I went out and could see small trees growing in my gutters. I went up on the roof and there were at least 400 small maple trees growing in my gutters,, anybody think that they would be worth replanting or maybe somone wants a couple 4" tall trees....

I get a garden full of them every year from my neighbors tree. If you want some more let me know.

Odds are they are either Silver Maples, Norways or the dreaded Amurs. If Amur Maple please dispose of immediately, last I heard was they were about to be listed as invasive in MN.

But Silver Maples might be worth a try in the garden if you have a place to put them when they get larger. Silvers grow fast and will get huge within 10 years.
