Silver Maple

Silver Maple

Silver Maple Acer saccharinum likes moist lowlands in regions of deciduous forests. The leaf is more deeply notched than leaves of other native Canadian maples and they have five coarsely-toothed lobes. Male flowers with stamens and female flowers with pistils are usually in separate clusters and they have no petals. As in other maples, the fruit is a pair of winged seeds joined on a single stalk.
