A sugar maple is a variety of maple tree common to the American Midwest and New England. In the spring when sap begins to flow from the roots, sugar maples are tapped--that is a tube is pounded into them that allows sap to flow into collection containers. This sap is taken to a preparation building called a sugar bush where it is boiled down to reduce the water content and concentrate the natural sugar to produce maple syrup.
A sugar maple leaf typically has 3-5 lobes with rounded corners.

Sugar Maple is one of the slower growing maples, but worth the wait! They may grow up to a foot per year in good conditions, sometimes a little less. I wouldn't worry about the size and just enjoy the spectacular orange and yellow fall color I've seen some that were only 6 ft tall that were beautiful. I like to buy smaller trees and watch them grow over the years, they're kind of like children!
