Do all maple trees produce syrup?
No, not all maple trees produce syrup. Only certain species of maple trees, such as sugar maple and black maple, produce sap that can be turned into maple syrup.
Do maple trees produce o2 and pine trees co2?
NO. All trees with chlorophyll (green pigment) produce oxygen (o2) through photosynthesis.
Are maple a kind of evergreen tree?
No. I do not know of any Maple species that are Evergreen.
How are Christmas trees different from maple trees?
A Christmas tree is an evergreen that keeps its green needles all year round. A maple tree is deciduous. It loses its leaves in the autumn and is naked all winter, growing new leaves in the spring.

What pigments do leafs contain?
All of the pigments except for green. Leaves are green because that is the only color not absorbed and therefore is reflected.
Do all plants have green pigments?
No, not all plants have green pigments. While chlorophyll is the most common pigment that gives plants their green color, some plants may have other pigments like red, yellow, or purple. These pigments can help the plants absorb different wavelengths of light for photosynthesis.
Why didn't the leaves fall off my maple tree?
Deciduous trees - that is, trees that drop their leaves annually - have many different pigments in the leaves. During the growing season, the chlorophyll (the green pigment) is dominant. Chlorophyll reacts with water and sunlight to generate energy for the plant. In the autumn, when the trees go dormant, the chlorophyll breaks down. The other pigments were in the leaves all along, just "hidden" by the chlorophyll. When the green pigment breaks down, the other colors become visible. The color that the leaves turn depends on the species of the tree. Maples turn scarlet or yellow, oaks turn a bronze-brown shade, aspens and birches bright gold, and so on.
What gives producers there green color?
The chloroplasts in their cells contain chlorophyll pigments. These pigments absorb sunlight from all from all of the color spectrum except green. That light is used for photosynthesis and the green light is reflected back out and makes the plant look green.
Why is there a leaf on the Canada flag?

Do maple or elm trees keep their leaves all year?
