is a main component of the eastern deciduous forests. It is native from
eastern Canada to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. It grows in the
eastern part of Iowa, and trees from midwestern origin are usually more
successful in this region. The sugar maple has the reputation of having
the best fall colors of all North American trees, turning yellow, bright
