This colossal Maple Tree is the classic icon of autumn color. Its large canopy is a magnificent green in summer, giving way to brilliant yellows, oranges, and reds after the first frost of the year. The Sugar Maple is so iconic, it is the state tree of New York and Vermont and adorns the Canadian flag. The Sugar Maple is the only tree commercially used for syrup production. Each tree can produce 5-60 liters of sap per year! For best sap production, the Sugar Maple will need to be planted in an area where nights are below freezing and days are above 40˚. Show more
