Striped Maple
Acer pensylvanicum

This tree is also called Goose-foot. Looking at the leaf, the name makes sense.
The Striped Maple usually a small tree, 30 to 40 feet tall; and it has striped bark, thus the name. The stripes are white against a green trunk; the stripes go in an "up and down" direction. As the tree gets older, the trunk becomes brown and gets a bit warty. However, the twigs will remain green striped with white.

For the love of the trees,
Many animals and birds eat the leaves and shoots and buds and nectar of the Striped Maple Trees.
Some of these animals and birds are rabbits, moose, white-tailed deer, beavers, ruffed grouse, and honeybees.
