The Mountain Maple Tree of North America
Acer Spicatum — Mountain Maple
The Mountain Maple, also known as the Acer Spicatum is grown in northeastern North America and in the Georgia area as well. Other common names used to describe this particular tree are moose maple, moosewood, and water maple. This tree is commonly used for the production of maple syrup. When making syrup you simply drill a hole in the trunk of the Moutain Maple and hammer a nail just above the hole so you can hang a bucket for the sap to drip into. Once the bucket is full you can start the boiling process. Other uses of the Mountain Maple come from nature's pets. Animals that feed this tree are white-tailed deer, moose, snowshoe hair, and beavers.
