I am from Canada, and when walking past a large maple tree on our street I asked myself the same question. After a bit of searching I found this formula:
1. Determine the species of your tree.
2. With a tape measure, find the circumference of the tree (in inches) 4 1/2 feet above the ground.
3. Determine the diameter of your tree.
(Diameter = Circumference divided by 3.14{pi})
4. Calculate the age of the tree. Formula: Diameter X Growth Factor
Growth Factors for Maple trees
Red Maple 4.5
Sugar Maple 5.0
Silver Maple 3.0
I wonder what the neighbours will think when they see me standing on their lawn with a measuring tape:)

They keep their green color until early november before turning into a bright yellow

Why can foresters estimate the age of trees based on the diameter of the stem trunk?
Foresters can tell you the age of a tree based on the diameter of the trunk based on past years of rain fall. They then look to see ages of trees that have been cut down and do the rest of the math after.
