A Sugar Maple almost requires no introduction, largely due to the fact that Maple Syrup derived from this hardy tree has made dessert for breakfast culturally acceptable for generations. Indeed, its edible by-product has projected the Sugar Maple tree to become a household name but when mentioning this tree, it would be a shame to not mention both its hardiness and pure natural beauty! Those who reside in the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada are likely well aware that a Sugar Maple can not just tolerate, but thrive in extremely harsh winter conditions. A Sugar Maple has no trouble living through months below freezing and frigid winds throughout the winter. Its cold tolerance makes it ideal for its native Northeastern home, but also for the Midwest and Rocky Mountain states. But hardiness isn't all this tree has to offer, in fact, Sugar Maples are known for some of the brightest late fall colours and because they are grown from seed, every tree will be uniquely coloured. Vivid orange is the most common, yet bright red and neon yellow are quite likely as well. The Sugar Maple is an excellent choice for those looking for a native, hardy, and beautiful tree.
