    What are those leaf prints? Almost look like shadows but I don't think so. Those prints look like you might have some Sugar Maple. If so, lucky you! :cool:

    They are shadows of leaves from the branches I cut off the trunk. Some of the leaves looked like red and others looked like sugar. I am confused

    The two small points on the lower part of the leaf are confusing me
