Trees 1 - 4

 1. Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) - 751 Whitewood Court


The Sugar Maple is Canada's national tree which lends its leaf to our stylish flag. 

2. Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra) - 1306 Cascade Street



Beware do not eat the fruit of this tree. It is poisonous to humans, but highly prized by squirrels. 

3. Siberian Fir (Abies sibirica) - 2628 Munroe Avenue



This super hardy tree can withstand -50 C and is an excellent at dying when exposed to high atmospheric pollution. 

4. Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum) - 819 Wilson Crescent


These trees are known to grow for 130 years or more. This one is thought to be the largest in Saskatoon. I wonder how old it is?
