sugar maple
Vermont's state tree
A sugar maple is a large deciduous tree native to eastern North America, prized for its sap—the primary source of maple syrup—and its brilliant orange and red fall foliage.
The wood is hard and pale, used for furniture, flooring, and musical instruments.
The sugar maples along the road were spectacular in October.
