If you read the article you'll realize that it's a simple case of nuclear mutation.. the kid found it in Pickering!

 

Cool story!

Acer platanoides

About sums it up. Young Norway Maples or sucker growth will produce a few extremely large leaves until they mature a little. My kids always had one extremely large specimen in the middle of their annual fall leaf collections for school.

That one hasn't won a cup in over 40 yrs either....

Heh, good one.And just like your team, the actual senators in Ottawa have done nothing meaningful, ever, work in a building where half the seats are empty, and have no fans anywhere in Canada!

 

 

That's some good stuff right there!
