Its strength, utility, and distinctiveness make the Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) a particularly beloved species-but many people (even Canadians!) miss the tree's ephemeral springtime blossoms. While some maple species boast showier mounds of red blossoms, the sugar maple's flowers are yellow-green. Though they lend the tree an early-spring glow, their similarity in colour to the young leaves often camouflages them against the emerging canopy.
