Help me identify the Sugar Maple

The notches on the leaves between the 3 lobes \|/ are shaped like the space between your forefinger and thumb \_/ , like a U.

The Norway maple has a similar leaf, so be careful. The stem of the sugar maple is red with three terminal buds. The Norway maple's buds are much larger (and purple), and the stem is more gray.

[edit] Incorrect information.

When some one who is better at editing this get to it.. please correct that this is the largest of all maples, The Oregon or bigleaf maple is also a very large maple! It grows in western Canada.
