Silver Maple. They like wet areas and send out suckers like  a poplar.

Don't plant one anywhere near your field bed.

I have silver maple on my own land and I'm sure this is not that

Well look at that. I stand corrected. I have always called them silver maples which has bothered me, as I dislike them yet I love maples.

More research shows they are considered an invasive pest in Canada, which is fine by me, as I have cut many a one down. Also known as white poplar.

True silver maples have a thinner leaf form and are less silver, and more like a typical maple. Still like water, but don't have the annoying habit of sending up shoots everywhere.

I like silver maple but I can understand why some folks don't

My parents bought the house I was born and raised in when it was just a couple of years old. It was on a curve and my pop was worried that some drunk would miss the curve and drive into the house so he planted 4 silver maples. They grew pretty quick and sent out ground level feeler roots all over the front yard. They would suck water from anywhere and anything. They kept infiltrating the sewr line to the street. One by one, over the years, we took them out staring when I was about 15 or so. The trunks never got more than 8' tall before they branched out into lots of big leaders and as a teenager mowing the lawn I was learning to hate all the roots I was constantly shaving off. Never wanted to see another one since then. Firewood and not much else.

I have mine far away from any areas of impact or damage they could cause. I love the look of them and they do seem to grow really fast.

The tree requested isn't silver maple, but the leaf example picture is.

[Ron Scott]

Mountain maple, or also called moose maple.

While the leaf shape looks to match, the mountain maple I'm seeing doesn't have the frosty white the same this tree in OP has, I looked up white/silver poplar and that looked exactly like what I was seeing today

A right-click on the photo of the leaves will allow a google image search and come up with the white poplar image nearly the same. Coincidence?

[WhitePineJunky]

 Coincidence?

Nope This is a sealed case I believe, it's white poplar 

[Ron Scott]

Yes, it is white poplar, also called silver poplar as identified by its leaf and bark. It is an invasive species favoring the more hydric soils.
