[citation needed] Mature shagbarks are easy to recognize because, as their name implies, they have shaggy bark. This characteristic is, however ...
Open-grown trees have egg-shaped crowns. [2] Heavy release sometimes results in epicormic branching. On mature trees, the bark peels away from the trunk in long, sometimes broad, strips. This gives the trees a “shaggy” appearance that is easily confused with that of the Shagbark hickory (Carya ovata). That close similarity is the reason ...

[16] The Cherokee take an infusion of the bark to treat cramps, menstrual pains, dysentery, and hives. [17]
Acer platanoides is a deciduous tree, growing to 20–30 m (65–100 ft) tall with a trunk up to 1.5 m (5 ft) in diameter, and a broad, rounded crown. The bark is grey-brown and shallowly grooved. Unlike many other maples, mature trees do not tend to develop a shaggy bark. The shoots are green at first, soon becoming pale brown.
