Photos with developed leaves and fruit were taken on June 16, 2005.

The leaves, like the flowers and bark of the Forrest maple or Forrest's maple are similar to Acer tegmentosum.
Flowers of Acer forrestii are yellowish green, open in May and are arranged on an arched spike.
The bark of this tree has characteristics that lead me to believe that this is one of the "Snake bark maples".
Buds are "stalked" and leaves and flowers emerge together.
