After periods during which maple trees experience stress, for example, drought or a harsh winter, they can grow a greater number of seed pods, or samaras. All maples produce samaras, but red, silver and Norway maples often produce the largest quantities.
This tree grows at a medium to fast rate, with height increases of anywhere from 13" to more than 24" per year.
Many, but not all, maple trees have their characteristic red leaves year round. These trees are native to Japan, Russia and China, but have become popular for their color, size and relative hardiness, and are bred and planted worldwide.
Maple trees that are healthy sometimes skip a year in seed formation, either due to poor pollination or to an exceptionally good growing season the year before.. . . . .364011233776!]0000000000000009783314147754!]
