Red Maple (Acer rubrum) is a prominent deciduous tree native to North America. Known for its vibrant red foliage in autumn, this tree is a spectacular sight during the fall season. Its leaves are typically palm-shaped and turn brilliant shades of red, orange, or yellow before they fall off. Red Maples also produce small red or yellow flowers in spring, adding to their visual appeal. These adaptable trees are commonly found in various habitats, including wetlands and upland areas, and are widely planted for their stunning fall colors in landscaping and urban settings.
