Big Leaf Maple (42.8KB)Big Leaf Maples:  Named for the size of its leaves, which sometimes reach over a foot in width, these trees were probably planted when the house was constructed - sometime around 1920. The original owner and long-time resident Mr. Rosentreter believed that, when you planted a tree, you threw an old leather logging boot in the hole to give it a good start. (The house was a "kit" ordered from Sears Roebuck and delivered by rail.) bigleafmapleleaf.jpg (16485 bytes)
