<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I would love confirmation on what species of maple I am seeing aggressively invading a natural area in Reston. It doesn’t appear to have the milky sap that Norway maples are supposed
to when a stem is broken. If it is a sugar maple, has anyone else seen sugar maples take over a natural area, completely? I read that aggressive sugar maples are taking over the Missouri and Mississippi river banks so I’m wondering if that’s what’s going on
here. <o:p></o:p></p>
