Norway Maple

Norway Maple

Sapindaceae

Acer

Platanoides

The Norway Maple is originally from Europe but was brought here to the American continent as an invasive species. Now it can be found in North America and some of Canada. This species of Maple is often mistaken for the Sugar Maple due to their similar appearence. This Norway Maple can be found on the corner of State Route 32 and Lower Round Pond Road in Bristol, Maine. The reason for why I included this tree is because it is an invasive species, and while it has been long enough that the ecosystems of North America have adapted to it, it should be known that an invasive species can cause series issues for ecosystems.
