Red Maple (Acer rubrum)

On this point of interest you will find two Red Maples standing tall on the edge of a field. Red Maple will grow in various enviornements typically in wet or dry enviornments. I incorperated this tree into the tour because I like how its bark can vary depending on age from very smooth to flaky. They always look like they're in good, healthy shape. I would wear thin pants becuase I found a couple of ticks on me after taking this picture.
