Expert Response
these are all young trees and they look healthy. what kind of maples are they and when were they planted? they look like they may be Silver Maples.
Silver Maple leaves often begin with a reddish brown tone. They should turn green as they age.
Thank you for the reply. After I sent the message, I walked around my neighborhood, looking at other maples, and they all looked similar to mine. I hadn’t noticed before how the outer leaves are not all green but there were lots of them once I paid attention. I think mine are Autumn Blaze and they are about six years old. The builder put them in.
Thanks again for your help.
