Field Maple

The leaves of the deciduous field maple are red when young, green by late summer then yellow and red in the fall. The green flowers in spring produce helicopter-looking inedible fruits that children love to play with. Expect the field maple to grow to 25-80 feet tall and 12 feet wide. Its ideal growing conditions are full or partial sun and well-drained soil.
