~ RED MAPLE ~
Red maple trees feature something red in each of the seasons—buds in winter, flowers in spring, leafstalks in summer, and brilliant foliage in autumn. This pageant of color, along with the red maple's relatively fast growth and tolerance to a wide range of soils, makes it a widely planted favorite. http://www.arborday.org/trees/treeguide/treedetail.cfm?itemID=867 |
