Sugar Maple
érable à sucre
Acer saccharum
No tree is more Canadian than Sugar Maple, and it is a very familiar sight in forests around Ottawa. It is valued highly for its sweet-tasting sap, its finely-grained but tough wood, and especially for its fall display of orange, red and yellow colours. This species is native to cool climates, needing cold weather during its dormant period. Sugar Maple reaches about 20 metres in height, although it can be taller in the forest. The tree is located near the lowland path that tracks beside the woodland area of the Arboretum, about 20 metres NW of Sugar Maple (1).
