This giant sugar maple tree is more than 200 years old. Confirmation was obtained via a smaller tree cut down in 1997 which clearly had at least 180 growth rings. Norwich, Connecticut, claims the largest living sugar maple, having a trunk at least 23 feet around. The tree in front of us is our biggest maple at 18 feet around. We retired it from tapping, but are happy that its hollow openings serve well as our special wildlife condominium!
