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.

Their seeds are often referred to as helicopters because of their shape and the way they float to the ground. Maple trees are classified as shade trees because of their size. Silver Maples are the fastest growing type of maple tree with a mature spread of 35' to 50'.
