Red maple (Acer rubrum) and Silver maple (Acer saccharinum) are some of the earliest-blooming native trees in the eastern US. Since they're in bloom now and many red maples have actually already started forming samaras (seeds), I wanted to share a video of all the maple flowers I've recorded. Make sure to take a close look at all the maple flowers you can find this year! They are pretty for sure. Definitions: - Polygamodioecious: Individual trees usually have either all female or all male flower
