Never plant a silver maple near a house. They grow fast so that may be why some people are tempted. Mature trees can become quite large and they will break up easily in stormy weather. Their visible, shallow roots can make lawn mowing problematic and they produce a mass of whirligigs that must be cleaned up every spring. This maple was topped (a tree no-no) before I became it's owner and that has sped its decline.
