I noticed our soft Maples seed a lot, but the hard Maples in my front yard hardly seed at all. The one year they did seed, I was pulling seedlings all summer. Still finding some two years later. We've lived here for 18 years and that was the first time the old twins did that. I thought at first it was their "swan song" and they were going to die on me, but I was wrong. I hope they don't seed again for a long time. There must have been a million seedlings, no kidding. The picture was taken last November of the old twins.
