Sugar maple, Norway maple and silver maple all have extremely shallow roots, especially silver maples, which often have large, exposed roots well above the ground level. This makes it difficult to nearly impossible for grass or other plants to live underneath a silver maple tree.
The second claim to fame of the trees in the maple family is the sap, from which maple syrup and maple syrup candy are made. The sap of a maple tree contains a far higher amount of sugar than any other tree, and of these, the sugar maple contains the highest amount. Nearly any maple tree may be used to make syrup, but the sugar maple, which is also called the hard maple, has the sap which makes the best sugar and syrups because of its lighter colored and sweeter syrup. The Maple is a very slow growing tree, and can live to be well over 100 years old.
