RIP another friend, a Norway maple in the park. Apparently it was rotting inside. Goodbye old friend.

Nice walk today, the weather has cooled somewhat and is enjoyable. I took a guided tour learning how to ID trees and now know all about compound leaves.

Acer platanoides (Norway maple)

Last year, I came to the conclusion that I wasn't doing enough about tree flowers. Unfortunately, it was already late May and most trees bloom in the spring. Welcome to the Norway maple at the end of my street. Native to temperate Eurasia, it was introduced to North America in the mid-1700s as an ornamental shade tree. Now it's a common street tree in the endless suburbs.

Urban trees need to be carefully planned. Norway maple may have pretty flowers in the spring and colorful leaves in the autumn but it can lead to sidewalk heave and expensive pruning and leaf pickup, all paid for by municipal taxes. My advice is to do a little research before you plant a tree. Case in point: the roots of the Douglas Fir in my front garden have torn my driveway to pieces.
