I have no idea what the real name was, but it shed seed pods that were about 1.5 inches in diameter with sharp points all over them. You couldn't mow and you couldn't rake with those things all over the yard. Anyone know the tree I'm talking about? It was a big tree, so if you planted one you could ruin half of the neighbor's yard at the cost of also ruining half of your own yard.

Maples just spread the seeds like mad and they go everywhere. Silve Maples also get huge and then start breaking off large branches.
We have tons of them in around here. Have to be careful walking on the sidewalks after dark when they are everywhere.
