The U.S. forest service recognizes it as the most abundant native tree in eastern North America. The red maple is named for it's red followers, red fruit, red twigs, and of course it's brilliant red fall foliage. Autumn sightseers of the eastern deciduous forest praise the red maple for it's striking scarlet leaves. Few people know that red maple foliage can turn yellow or orange in the fall too. The red maple is a important tree for nature. Because of it's colorful fall foliage, it is an  important ornamental tree, and it is also very important as a food source for wildlife.
