Why do you say that?

I'm in on this question too...  I just read that it never becomes a canopy tree, so does it have to do with choking out all other, more valuable, trees to maintain forest health?

Thanks, folks. Very much appreciate the ID and insight.

I've read that they're not particularly useful unless one can pulp them for veneers, which is not an option for me. I saw an article on homeopathic uses, but haven't read up on those. At any rate, it looks like I'll be taking many of them down, especially in open canopy areas.

If I buy that darn chipper shredder, they'd make some fine trail to tree stands...

I have a clear cut with maple and beech left on it a little cherry and hickory. I plan on tapping the maples even if they aren't sugar maples. Question is should I bother tapping a striped maple?

They are very shade tollerent and will shade out all your valuable and non valuable prefered browse species.. They stop forest regeneration ..as for predates tub trees.. I'm sure they would much rather rub on cedar oak cherry..but they have to be regenerating for them to become prefered.   Not a nutritional plant by any means...
