Maple trees are famous for their beautiful leaves that turn bright red, orange, and yellow in the fall! Their leaves have a special shape with pointy parts that many people recognize right away. The maple leaf is so well loved that it is on the flag of Canada!
There are about 128 different kinds of maple trees in the world, and some can live for more than 200 years. Maple leaves have a star-like shape with pointed tips. In the fall, these leaves turn bright red, orange, and yellow, making forests look like they are on fire with color! Maple trees also grow seeds with little wings that spin around like tiny helicopters when they fall.
