red maple

Scarlet autumn tree

Red maple is a common deciduous tree native to eastern North America, known for its brilliant red fall foliage and red flowers that appear in early spring.

It thrives in a wide range of soil conditions, from swamps to dry ridges, making it one of the most adaptable and widespread trees on the continent.

The wood is used for furniture and flooring, though it's softer than sugar maple.

The red maples along the pond turn crimson every October.
