Sugar Maple Tree name is Jack Sokeri Maple
Sugar maple seeds are usually dropped in the fall. They are v-shaped, winged seeds usually called “helicopters”,"whirlybirds," or "spinners". The seeds are actually fruit and are called samaras.
Sugar maple. Sugar maple is not just a northern U.S. tree. You can find sugar maple from Florida to Maine. The leaf is memorialized on Canada’s flag and sugar maple tree sap is the backbone of Vermont’s syrup industry. The beautiful orange fall color makes this tree a favorite for landscapes. The wood (called hard maple) is valuable and used for flooring, furniture, paneling, gymnasium floors, butchers blocks and many other products.
In fall the leaves are from bright yellow to red color
height growth is usually completed in about 15 weeks; radial growth normally ceases in 14 to 17 weeks following initiation.
Sugar maple trees average about 1 foot of height growth and 0.2 inch of diameter growth annually for the first 30 to 40 years. Hence a 30-year-old tree might be 6 to 8 inches in diameter and 30 to 35 feet in height. After about 140 to 150 years, height growth ceases and radial growth slows greatly. Although rare, old-growth sugar maple stands can average 300 to 400 years in age; individual trees range from 70 to 110 feet tall with diameters at breast height of 20 to 36 inches.
Sugar maple is very sensitive to high sodium levels in the soil. Hence it can sustain major injury from salt added to road surfaces to melt winter ice and snow. The use of salt in the winter is a common practice throughout much of New York State and New England. Affected trees are found primarily along roads, although in extreme cases water drainage from roads into maple stands has caused extensive damage. Salt enters the roots and accumulates throughout the tree. When soil moisture levels decrease, the high salt concentration in the tissues causes the death of many twigs. Therefore, salt damage becomes obvious following long dry periods during the summer.
Jack gets separated from his family at birth
Then lives with a bunch of trees that he doesn't know. Later they become his family.
Pine and oak trees
