  • Appearance: Red maples are medium to large-sized trees, typically growing between 40 to 70 feet in height. They have a rounded crown and a straight trunk. The leaves of the red maple are three to five-lobed and have a serrated margin. In the autumn, the foliage turns brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow, making it a popular choice for landscaping.
  • Habitat and Range: Red maples are adaptable and can be found in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, swamps, floodplains, and upland forests. They have a broad natural range, spanning from Newfoundland in Canada to Florida in the United States and as far west as Texas.
  • Environmental Benefits: Red maples provide numerous environmental benefits. They are valued for their ability to tolerate urban conditions and are often planted in cities and suburban areas. These trees help improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and carbon dioxide. They also provide shade, reducing energy consumption for cooling buildings, and their root systems help control soil erosion.
  • Important Timber Tree: Red maple wood is widely used for a variety of applications, including furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and veneer. The wood is moderately hard, durable, and has an attractive grain pattern. However, red maple lumber is prone to warping, so proper drying techniques are necessary for optimal use.
  • Ecological Significance: Red maples play a crucial role in many ecosystems. Their flowers provide nectar for bees, and their seeds are a valuable food source for various bird species, including finches, cardinals, and woodpeckers. Squirrels and other mammals also rely on the seeds as a food source. Additionally, red maples provide nesting sites and cover for numerous wildlife species.

      Care Instructions

      Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
