Maples have a fruit called a samara, which means that the fruit is a wing. You've probably seen maple samaras, or maybe samaras from other trees. They look like little "helicopters" falling down. Maples actually have double samaras, so there are two samaras attached. They each have their own seed which is enclosed in the papery wing. Samaras are adapted to dispersal by wind.

What else can I help you with?
What would happen if maple trees stopped making seeds?
The seeds will not grow, and new maple trees would not be produced if maple trees stopped making seeds.
Which trees have spinning seeds?
Trees that have spinning seeds include maple trees, such as the silver maple and sugar maple. These trees produce winged seeds called samaras that spin as they fall to the ground, helping with seed dispersal.
How are maple tree seeds mostly dispersed?
By the wind.
How are the seeds of pine trees dispersed?
wind
Are there male and female maple trees?
Yes, maple trees can be either male or female. Male maple trees produce pollen, while female maple trees produce seeds.
Do trees have seeds?
because they do
How maple seeds dispersed?
wind The wind blows the seeds off the tree. The seeds are 'winged' and float/spin down to the ground.
Do maple trees have seeds?
Yes, you can eat maple seeds but should boil them first to remove the bitter tannins.
Do maple trees have edible seeds?
Yes, you can eat maple seeds but should boil them first to remove the bitter tannins.
How do maple seeds get dispersed?
Maple seeds are dispersed through wind dispersal. The seeds have wing-like structures that allow them to spin and twirl as they fall from the tree, helping them to travel long distances away from the parent tree.
What are some examples of common tree seeds that can be easily planted in a garden?
Some common tree seeds that can be easily planted in a garden include acorns from oak trees, maple seeds from maple trees, and pine cones from pine trees.
Is the maple a example of seed dispersal by explosion?
Yes, maple trees are an example of seed dispersal by explosion. When the maple fruits, known as samaras or "helicopter seeds," mature, they rely on wind to carry them away from the parent tree. The seeds are dispersed as the samaras spin and glide through the air, helping the tree to spread its seeds over a wider area.
