General Comments:
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.
