James,
Look like a gorgeous spot. As for the tree, it could not be a maple since it is alternately branched. Perhaps a mulberry? Paper mulberry? Need some more detail to be sure. Will F.

"No sympathy for apathy" _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Parton Sent: Sunday, December 20, 2009 5:42 PM To: ENTS Subject: [ENTS] A very belated post. Falls Park, Greenville S.C. ENTS, Last April I took my daughter Sarah to Falls Park in Greenville SC. It was my first visit there. I had forgotten to post it until I found the measurements in my ENTS notebook and photos stored away on my computer. Anyway, better late than never. Falls Park is located in downtown Greenville with the Reedy River running through it. It is a popular and very nice place. There is not many large trees but still there are some nice ones mainly dominated by American Beech, Tuliptree and Maples. Planted flowers were profusely in bloom and the weather warm. It is a pleasant thought with it cold now and all the snow on the ground. The downside to Falls Park is the Reedy River is not heathy. It has warning signs concerning coliform bacteria. Something there is no excuse for. Our French Broad River was the same way back in the 50s and 60s. Tighter laws and public conciousness since the 1970s have made a big difference in the FBR. I hope the same happens to the Reedy. I have attached 3 pictures. Could anyone tell me what tree " Spring Tree " is? I think it is a type of maple but the leaves were not yet on it and I am not sure what it is. Measurements American Beech 94.5 ft tall. 9' 7" cbh Oak stump 5' 6" dia at 1.5ft above ground. 64 rings counted.
