Peter, yes there are likely more original maple trees throughout Country Estates. I remember that in the 1980s, maple trees line the border of Harbor Hill on Glen Cove Road.
According to what we told growing up at 110 Redwood Drive, Maple trees on our property were planted to line the road going up to the main house of the Mackay Estate. Is this tree part of the original trees plantings?
