The sugar maple – Acer saccharrum – is an iconic Canadian symbol. Maple syrup is produced from them, our flag features a sugar maple leaf, and they turn a beautiful colour in fall.

Versatility is a virtue, I think, and this is one versatile — and beautiful — tree. I grew up with maples, and they’re still the iconic symbol of fall for me.
What a beautiful tree! Your photo is stunning!
thanks – mother nature’s art.
I can’t look at this too long before tears well up…..
there must be a story or poem there….
I planted a sugar maple in my garden back home in Scotland. I loved watching the colour of the leaves change.
nice. they are memorable trees.. 🙂
