This North American native deciduous tree provides rich green

foliage

during the warm season, turning shades of orange, yellow, red among cooler temperatures in early to mid Fall. Small clusters of reddish flowers appear in late Winter to early Spring for the pollinators to enjoy. Following the flowers come red, or green winged seeds (helicopters) that fall to the ground, often enjoyed by birds and squirrels alike. Its upright, rounded to oval shape makes a great shade tree that grows very fast. Ideal specimen shade tree, groupings in sunny landscapes, woodland borders, around outdoor sitting or living spaces.
