There are approximately 132 species of maple trees throughout Asia Europe northern Africa and North America. Maples usually have easily recognizable palmate leaves (palm-shaped lobes stemming from the leaf base) and distinctive winged seeds called samaras. Most are shade-tolerant when young. Maples are often riparian (preferring moist soils) as found in deep woods and along stream banks but tolerate a wide variety of soils. Some larger maples known as hard-wood maples have valuable timber often used for their decorative graining. Maple is considered a tonewood or a wood that carries sound waves well and is used in numerous musical instruments including violins guitars and many drums.
