Sprouting of Red maples and Sugar maples in 2010
Let me show you the typical North American maples, such as Acer rubrum and Acer saccharum.
At first, Acer rubrum, Red maple!
Acer rubrum is known as the name of "red maple", and is the same group as Japanese red maple, Acer pycnanthum.
As its name shows, it is a representative of red
that changes the autumn of North America into scarlet and crimson colors.
It was May this year that it began to sprout and show new young leaves.
Next, Acer saccharum, Sugar maple!
Acer saccharum is known for its maple syrup, and it dyes North American autumn into yellow, orange and red.
These are all seedlings from seed, and are 50-100 cm tall now.
This species is covered with soft hairs.
Let's show you an enlarged picture.
The sprouting of Caddo maple (Acer saccharum 'Caddo') germinated last year, and spent winter safely.
It seems to be about 10 days later than usual that red maple and the sugar maple began to sprout this year .
