sugar maples
Vermont's signature trees
Sugar maples are deciduous trees native to northeastern North America, prized for their sap, which is boiled down to make maple syrup.
The wood is hard and fine-grained, valued for furniture and flooring.
Sugar maples display brilliant orange and red foliage in autumn, making them iconic in New England landscapes: The sugar maples along the road were blazing with color.
