Information

This Striped Maple (Acer pensylvanicum) is surrounded by Paper Birches (Betula papyrifera) and Northern Red Oaks (Quercus rubra). Striped Maples are a beautiful, understory tree. This species of maple are 20-40 feet, but this is a tiny (and CUTE) sapling that has so much growing to do. There are no adult species of Striped Maples along this trail, so be sure to stop and see these little saplings!

This species also has sexual dimorphism as females are the only one with seeds. Striped Maples grow in part shade or shade and prefer cool, well-drained, moist, and acidic soils.
