My previous question was rejected but it shouldn't have been. We have this tree in our front yard at our new home and it's sprouting a lot of trees, what type of tree is this? Thanks very much

Expert Response
I am not sure the type of maple you have, but it looks like it is under some type of stress. Maples are thin-skinned and very susceptible to bark splitting, borers and other diseases. Maples will set seed called samara that will germinate around the plant. I would call your local county extension office to see if they can give you local advice. Hope this helps! Happy Gardening!
The tree is not under stress, another expert said the bark looked ok... I keep getting conflicting feedback about this which is kind of odd.
I'd love to chat with you- I will be in my office tomorrow<personal data hidden> if you
d like to call. From the pics it looks like you are getting water sprouts coming out of the bark and many times that can be a result of some type of stress. Again, I might contact your local extension office as they are knowledgeable about your situation in California.
