Plant(heart/diamond)
Red Maple
Type: Deciduous tree (Acer rubrum).
Needles: None – it has broad, lobed leaves.
Lifespan: Around 80–100 years.
Habitat: Grows in a variety of soils; thrives in wetlands and uplands across eastern/central North America.
Uses: Ornamental landscaping, furniture, flooring, and maple syrup (less sweet than sugar maple).
Adaptations: Tolerates a wide range of soils and pH levels, and adapts to both wet and dry conditions.
Ecological Role: Provides food and shelter for birds, squirrels, and pollinators; early spring flowers are an important nectar source.
Fun fact: The Red Maple is one of the first trees to show its vibrant fall colors each year!
Maple Leaf
Type: Leaf from deciduous maple trees (genus Acer).
Needles: None – broad, flat, lobed leaf.
Lifespan: Depends on the tree species; leaves typically last one growing season before falling in autumn.
Habitat: Found on maple trees across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Uses: Symbol on the Canadian flag, decorative art, and pressed leaf crafts.
Adaptations: Broad surface area captures maximum sunlight for photosynthesis; seasonal color change helps conserve energy before winter.
Ecological Role: Provides shade, food for caterpillars and insects, and contributes to soil nutrients when decomposed.
Fun fact: A single large maple leaf can produce enough sugar in one season to help the tree grow thousands of flowers in spring!
