Wednesday, 8:00 AM. 65 degrees, wind W, calm. The channel is dimpled, the sky is blue and hazy, and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies.
The hedge maple, Acer campestre, in the maple family, is a large shrub to small tree of Asian origin, much used as a background plant and occasionally as a small street tree. Its main attraction is the red-purple winged seeds (samaras) which are quite decorative. It also has good fall leaf color. The hedge maple has its virtues but is probably over-used.
