sugar maple: the iconic maple syrup tree


The sugar maple tree is the iconic maple syrup tree. When I find these growing in my gardens due to nearby maple trees I uproot them and plant them in a place large enough for them to grow. They are excellent shade trees, great for windbreaks for smaller trees and areas, and can be tapped for maple sap in the spring which is then boiled down into maple syrup and maple sugar.

The leaves turn colour in the fall. I usually plant trees in the rainy season, mostly spring and sometimes autumn. With enough water, they don't need much more care.
