Occurrence
Sugar maple is the most important maple species in North America and grows in the eastern part, from Newfoundland to the Gulf of Mexico.
Characteristic and wood color
The sapwood is light coloured, almost white, while the heartwood is light reddish to reddish brown. It has a beautiful lustre and usually a very decorative grain.
From the sap of the tree the well-known maple sugar is extracted. In late winter, the trees are drilled so that the sap runs out. A medium strong tree produces about 50 litres of sap per year, from which 1 kg of sugar is extracted by thickening it.
