Florida Maple Tree
Maple Trees are well known in the northern states for their fall leaf color and production of sugar and maple syrup. As a native U.S. occurring shade tree the Florida Maple tree can be found growing in forests from Virginia to as far south as Florida, and then in scattered colonies from Arkansas to Texas. The tree grows smaller in size than the northern sugar maple trees, and the leaf size is also smaller by about 30% In the early spring the blue green colored leaves emerge from unfolding buds and this distinctive feature is consistently a defining characteristic of this colorful shade tree. The Bark of the Florida Maple tree is light grey in color as seen in our video, and as it matures furrows grow deep into the trunk. Very few southerners grow shade trees that show bright fall colors, but the Florida Maple is a great choice for brilliant fall displays of bright Orange and Red leaf color. The Florida Maple Tree is a rapid growing tree that provides a dramatic color change during the fall for residents of the Deep South.
