Mapple Leafs by SONIC 2014/05/19 07:49
mapple leaves are among the most beautifull leaves existing now.
There are over 200 different species of trees in the maple family.
Most are symmetrical, wide spreading trees with extremely thick
foliage. Most are also deciduous trees, found in the northern
temperate zones; including much of North America, Canada and
Europe.
The leaves of the maple tree are wide, deeply indented leaves,
varying in length from 2 to 5 inches, depending on the species.
The maple tree is best known for two things, it's helicopter seeds
which fall to the ground spinning like the blades of a helicopter,
and the syrup or sugar which is made from its sap. The
helicopters are actually the fruit of the maple tree. They have
two small (about 1/4" across) seeds at the center, joined
together by a very weak link, and two thin, paper like wings, one
on each side. When they are ripe, these fruits often break apart
and float to the earth with the wing spinning round and round
like the blades on a helicopters
