Etnobotánica:

Sap once used as a source of sugar (less desirable that sugar maple sap). Wood strips used to make baskets.

Comentarios generales:

In January the tree bears tiny red flowers followed by conspicuous, bright-red, winged samaras,or keys, which remain on trees for several weeks, serving as indicators of spring.



Florida-grown stock does not need cold temperatures to stimulate flowering, but out-of-state stock does, and should be avoided.



Red maple has the greatest south-north range of tree species in eastern North America.
