Acer saccharum
18-24 inches tall
 
A slower growing tree, the Sugar Maple will reach heights of 60-75 feet with a 40-50 spread once matured.  Once the tree is large enough (usually 10 inches in diameter), it can be tapped for its sap to make maple syrup. 
Sugar Maples prefer areas that provide full sun, partial sun/shade and well-drained soils of varying pH.
