I thought of you when I saw that central Illinois was void of a native range. Funny. The tree ID booklet is a good start. Peterson's tree books are good too, I don't have one, but want one. Also Sibley (sp?) has a book of trees that is good. <br /><br />Hi Sweetbay, I imagine your place is gorgeous in the fall----and spring and summer and winter. The variety of colors in the fall is just spectacular.Janet, The Queen of Seafordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876204203323750245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-89017433134390955632010-04-01T14:07:09.966-04:002010-04-01T14:07:09.966-04:00There's nothing like the fall color of a maple...There's nothing like the fall color of a maple! Interesting that this one isn't native in central Illinois, though I suspect some homeowners have planted them.

I also think its fall color is stunning.<br /><br />Hi Debbie, it certainly makes the Skyline Drive gorgeous in the fall. I would take tons of pictures too.<br /><br />Hi NellJean, those little helicopters are part of my childhood memories. What fun. Glad you thought of my tree postings when you saw the seedling.<br /><br />Hi Tina, they are standing out big time!! Lots and lots of red flowers.<br /><br />Hi Grace, Variegated??? how cool. I would NEED one too.<br /><br />Hi Di, thanks for visiting! Sounds like your maples were happy and grew well. No time like the present to plant more. Hope the one you planted three years ago does well.<br /><br />Hi Catherine, I know --I thought that 150 years would be at least be a medium lived catagory.<br /><br />Hi Mr. Brown Thumb, I like them both fall and spring. They are a nice sized tree. btw- thanks for the reply.

I wish we had planted more when we moved here 17 years ago for those planted have grown robustly and make for great shade.<br /><br />On the west side of our home and where the sun beats so hotly against the house in the summer, we lost several trees we planted because of the heat; finally we put in another maple 3 years ago... and it has not skipped a beat.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13160202493785166930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6119628314111837184.post-26031408993141448292010-03-31T01:22:52.192-04:002010-03-31T01:22:52.192-04:00I spent a royal fortune on an Acer rubrum 'Var...I spent a royal fortune on an Acer rubrum 'Variegata.'
