Red Maple
Red Maple
Scientific name: Acer rubrum Family: Sapindaceae Red maple is a locally abundant tree that can grow in both wet and dry habitats. We use it here on campus to make maple syrup. Red maple produces bright red flowers in early spring. In winter, you can tell maples apart from most other hardwoods by looking for the opposite branching pattern in the twigs. Atlantic-white cedar swamps with a history of disturbance can convert to hardwood swamps with red maple. |
