Sapindaceae

Red Maples grow in wet forests, so it makes sense that there are many Red Maples growing in the area. Maine gets a lot of rain, usually, and due to some extreme winters, a lot of the snow melts, seeping into the earth. This Red Maple is out in the open field of my houses backyard. To the right of this Red Maple is a tall Paper Birch. The grass is tall where this Red Maple grows so make sure you have bug spray. In the area, the Red Maple is a very common sight.
