About Sugar maple
Acer saccharum, the sugar maple, is a species of flowering plant in the soapberry and lychee family, Sapindaceae. It may also be called rock maple, sugar tree, sweet maple, or, particularly in reference to the wood, hard maple. Sugar maple is native to the hardwood forests of eastern North America. It is best known for being the primary source of maple syrup.
