Maple trees, encompassing the Acer genus, include over 125 different species. These deciduous trees have a pleasing rounded shape and make wonderful shade trees. The classic five-lobed leaves often turn brilliant shades of red, orange, yellow, purple, and bronze in the fall. These trees flower in the spring, attracting pollinators, while the interesting winged seeds, known as samaras, are edible and beloved by wildlife.
