Maple Tree Identification. Note: There are thousands of species of maple trees in the world and we only know a few. We cannot easily identify maple species for you. We do not have high-speed Internet so please do not send photos of trees or leaves unless they are smaller than 30 kb in size.ugar and black maple both grow in the shade of other trees (they are shade tolerant), and trees of many different ages (sizes) are often found in a forest. Both species are also found in stands composed of trees that are essentially all the same age (size).
Like the red maple, silver maple is a relatively short-lived tree when compared to the sugar or black maple, living perhaps. 130-150 years. Because of its fast growth rate, however, mature trees can achieve diameters in excess of 3 feet and heights in excess of 100 feet.ed maple is one of the most abundant and widespread hardwood trees in North America (Figure 3.8). Probably no other species of forest tree, certainly no hardwood, can thrive on a wider variety of soil types and sites.
