That's really sad. There's a maple tree like that in the front yard of the house where I grew up -- it's probably only 50-60 years old or so by now, but it's gotten so enormous in that time it's almost unbelievable; it's definitely one of the largest trees in the development, including pines and oaks. At the right time of day it casts shade over the entire front lawn and some of the back (and it's not a small lawn
