Cool. This is my first day on Noah, so I'm figuring out the system. Thanks!
J, aren't you in New York? Did the scales have little spikes?
Do you think it's native or planted? It looks like the native silver maple: Acer saccharinum. Did you find any of the seed helicopters? They would be pretty big: 2 or 2-1/2 inches long.
No, it's not Pinus strobus, which has needles in clusters of five. How long are the needles? An inch or two?
