I had a big maple tree come down this evening in a rain/wind storm. The good news is that it fell away from the house.

I need to determine the type of maple - I'm pretty sure it's NOT a Sugar Maple as I have one of those and the leaves don't match.

I'm betting on a Red Maple - but will have more info tomorrow.

Are the common to NJ maple varieties any good for lumber or firewood?

I'll post some pic's tomorrow.

I believe all maple is pretty hard, just not as hard as 'rock' maple. :dunno:
It will make good firewood.
If you want to keep, get off ground ASAP. Maple is nearly the spalting/rotting champion of all hardwood trees.
