Trees in Neighborhood

Scarlet Oak
The scarlet oak (Quercus coccinea) is a deciduous tree known for its vibrant red fall foliage. It's native to eastern North America and is commonly used in residential yards and parks, valued for its ornamental appearance and rapid growth. Scarlet oaks typically grow to be 50-80 feet tall and 45-60 feet wide.

Tag on tree on Marvin by round about.
Acer grandidentatum 'Schmidt', known as Rocky Mountain Glow Maple, is a tough, compact cultivar of the native Rocky Mountain Bigtooth Maple, prized for its dense oval shape, dark green summer leaves, and spectacular red, orange, and gold fall color, offering a smaller, hardy alternative to sugar maples that tolerates various conditions and harsh weather. 

Happy to find several of these Rowans, or Mountain Ash.
They are around the reservoir off Bowthorpe.
