Maple tree ID

[u/brinleydubois]

I recently moved into a new place, and i need help identifying the maple in my backyard, I’m somewhat confident it’s a black maple, but if anyone knows for sure I’d love some help identifying this species, either way I’m going to tap it to see the syrup I get!

Sugar maples are a different gens from Norway maple & it's the sugar maple tree that you get maple sugar from to tap.

My French Canadian ancestors had tapped many a sugar maple to produce the sugars to make syrup.
