''[[Acer]] saccharinum'' has semi-pendulous branches growing in an open form, which in turn casts a pretty open shade.  On old trees the bark, a gray-silver, peels off in long strips. The light green on top leaves are silvery underneath, have 5 lobes and range from 3 to 6 in wide.  Fall color is not impressive, with leaves turning a light yellow.  Roots will badly damage sidewalks (and sewers).
