Although some other maples (such as Acer griseum, Acer mandshuricum and the closely related A. cissifolium) have trifoliate leaves, only A. negundo regularly displays more than three leaflets. The leaflets are about 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long and 3–7 cm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 – 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide with slightly serrate margins.
Note, while the title of the image in the original book is "Acer Saccharinum", sugar maple is actually Acer saccharum. Acer saccharinum is a different species better known as silver leaf maple. The sapwood can be white, and smaller logs may have a higher proportion of this desirable wood. [ 27 ]
Acer saccharinum, commonly known as silver maple, [3] creek maple, silverleaf maple, [3] soft maple, large maple, [3] water maple, [3] swamp maple, [3] or white maple, [3] is a species of maple native to the eastern and central United States and southeastern Canada.

A member of the Aceraceae (maple) family, Acer leucoderme can be most easily differentiated from its closest cousin, Acer floridanum (Florida maple or Southern sugar maple), by its leaves and size. The leaves of the chalk maple are generally smaller, 5-8 cm across, with 3 to 5 lobes, whereas the leaves of the Florida maple are larger, up to 11 cm.
In contrast, the leaves of the related silver maple, A. saccharinum, are much more deeply lobed, more sharply toothed, and characteristically have five lobes. The upper side of A. rubrum ' s leaf is light green and the underside is whitish and can be either glaucous or hairy. The leaf stalks are usually red and are up to 10 cm (4 in) long.
Leaf Blower/Vacuum: Invest in a leaf blower with a vacuum function. Use the blower to gather leaves into a pile, then switch to the vacuum mode to suck them up into a collection bag.
Amur maple is treated either as a subspecies of Acer tataricum (Tatar maple), [3] or as a distinct species in its own right, Acer ginnala. [2] [4] [5] The glossy, deeply lobed leaves of subsp. ginnala distinguish it from subsp. tataricum, which has matt, unlobed or only shallowly lobed leaves; it is separated from subsp. tataricum by a roughly 3,000 km range gap across central Asia.
