Red Maple
Red maple (Acer rubrum) is a versatile deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It is celebrated for its vibrant foliage, with leaves that can turn brilliant shades of red, orange, or yellow in the fall, creating a stunning display of autumn colors. Red maple trees typically grow to heights of 40 to 60 feet (12 to 18 meters) and produce small red flowers in early spring, followed by distinctive red-winged seeds. They are commonly found in a variety of habitats, from wetlands to upland forests, and are widely planted for their aesthetic appeal in landscaping and urban areas.
