Another maple, this one not so common in Georgia – mostly where people have planted it!

This is sugar maple (Acer saccharum). Fiery orange color, distinctively shaped leaves (not variable like the red maple). Unlike the red maple, fruits take longer to ripen so the seeds/samaras of the sugar maple don’t fall until late summer (red maple seeds fall in early summer). . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia
