Acer Pensylvanicum Subsp. Typicum

White maple, scientifically known as Acer pensylvanicum subsp. typicum, is a striking deciduous tree native to eastern North America. It is distinguished by its pale to whitish leaves that shimmer in the sunlight, giving it its common name. This species thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in forested areas across the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. The tree produces small, yellowish flowers in early spring, followed by winged seeds that help in its propagation. Its unique appearance and ecological importance make it a valuable component of native landscapes.
