Acer rubrum distichum
This native tree, also known as “swamp maple”, has leaves that turn a beautiful range of red colors during the fall and winter season in Florida. The seeds are a food source mainly for squirrels. The tree is a host plant for various moths such as the Imperial Moth, Cecropia Silkmoth, Polyphemus Moth and Rosy Maple Moth. The Red Maple also attracts bees.
