no
How are maple tree seeds mostly dispersed?
By the wind.
Why is a maple tree an angiosperm?
it produces seeds with a fruit
What tree is a common tree with interesting seeds?
Sugar Maple trees have helicoptor seeds (when they fall, they twist like helicoptors).
How many seeds does a maple tree produces each?
A maple tree can produce thousands of seeds each year. The number of seeds can vary depending on the species of maple tree and environmental factors.
Is a maple tree a conifer tree?
No
How maple seeds dispersed?
wind The wind blows the seeds off the tree. The seeds are 'winged' and float/spin down to the ground.
what are the adaptations of the maple tree?

What is the favorite food of the bug?
Maple tree seeds are the favorite food of boxelder bugs.Specifically, the insect in question (Boisea trivittata) favors the seeds of the boxelder tree (Acer negundo). Maple tree species (Acer spp) produce many distinct, fibrous, winged seeds which are called samaras. Boxelder bugs tend not to do the equivalent of defoliate trees -- and they control maple tree populations -- but they are considered pests because of their great numbers.
How many seeds in a maple tree?
The maple tree's seed is just that, a seed. However the FRUIT of a Maple tree is what is known as a double samara, commonly called the "Helicopter Leaf". Each of the seeds is enclosed in a fibrous container which extends into an angled wing - this structure is what is botanically described as a samara. In maples two of these structures are joined at the base to make up the entire fruit. The weight of the seed holding the wing vertically in the air makes the fruit spiral and move sideways as it falls to the ground, thus dispersing seeds further from the parent tree and helping the maples to spread.
