Acer Saccharum
Acer saccharum, commonly known as Sugar Maple, is a stately deciduous tree native to eastern North America, best known for its role in producing maple syrup and its breathtaking autumn foliage.
Reaching heights of up to 35 meters, this tree features a dense canopy of lobed leaves that shift from deep green to brilliant shades of orange, red, and gold in the fall. Its bark starts smooth and gray, becoming darker and furrowed with age, adding character to mature specimens.
In early spring, clusters of small, yellow-green flowers appear, giving way to pairs of winged seeds (samaras) in late summer. The tree's sap, tapped in late winter, is boiled down to create the iconic and flavorful maple syrup.
Acer saccharum thrives in deep, well-drained, slightly acidic soils and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is cold-hardy and long-lived, making it a staple in temperate forests and large landscapes across Canada and the northeastern United States.
Highly valued for its wood, which is dense and durable, Sugar Maple is also a favorite ornamental tree for parks, estates, and rural properties. Its brilliant fall display and ecological importance make it a treasured species wherever it is grown.
