The Silver Maple tree is popular as a rapid-growing shade tree. It is often planted as an ornamental in many urban areas because of its ease of transplanting and establishment. The tree is often used for vegetative rehabilitation of surface-mined lands and for bottomland reforestation. Furthermore, its seeds and bark are eaten by many birds and small mammals like beavers and deer. The Silver Maple can grow to be between 50 and 80 feet in height when fully mature.
