Sugar Maple is a native species whose fall colors make it ideal for parks or broad lawns. Shade tolerance allows it to be planted among older trees. It is sensitive to road salt, heat, soil compaction, and drought. Its fall colors range from brilliant yellow to orange to red. The sugar saple is the principle source of maple syrup. It is also the most common tree in the northern forest. It can be used in riparian buffers on streambanks, upper shorelines and upland buffers. Sugar maple is a valuable timber species.
