ACER saccharum COMMON SUGAR MAPLE

The Common Sugar Maple is a spreading tree that displays a dense canopy that offers ample shade, and grows at a moderate pace. Its leaves transition to vibrant hues of red and orange during the autumn months. Come springtime, the tree adorns itself with cascading clusters of yellow flowers, succeeded by summer's long reddish stalks bearing clustered winged samaras.
