"Maple Acer is a genus of trees or shrubs commonly known as maple. The genus is placed in the family Sapindaceae. There are approximately 128 species, most of which are native to Asia, with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America. Only one species, ""Acer laurinum"", extends to the Southern Hemisphere. The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple, ""Acer pseudoplatanus"", the most common maple species in Europe. Maple species, such as ""Acer rubrum"", may be monoecious, dioecious or polygamodioecious. Most maples are trees growing to a height of . Others are shrubs less"

In Canada it is commonly known as Manitoba maple and occasionally as elf maple. In Russia it is called American maple () as well as ash-leaf maple (), and in Italian ""acero americano"". Common names may also designate a particular subspecies. For example, a common name for ""A. negundo"" subsp. ""interius"" may be preceded by ""inland"" (as in ""inland boxelder maple""). A common name for ""A. negundo"" subsp. ""californicum"" may be preceded by ""California"""

The names ""box elder"" and ""boxelder maple"" are based upon the similarity of its whitish wood to that of boxwood and the similarity of its pinnately compound leaves to those of some species of elder. This is the only North American maple with compound leaves, though several Asian species also have them. Other common names are based upon this maple's similarity to ash, its preferred environment, its sugary sap, a description of its leaves, its binomial name, and"

Some species of maple are extensively planted as ornamental trees by homeowners, businesses and municipalities due to their fall colour, relatively fast growth, ease of transplanting, and lack of hard seeds that would pose a problem for mowing lawns. Particularly popular are Norway maple (although it is considered invasive in North America), silver maple, Japanese maple, and red maple.

The trunk will remain free of branches until some distance up the tree on forest grown trees, while individuals grown in the open are shorter and thicker with a more rounded crown. Generally the crown is irregularly ovoid with ascending whip-like curved shoots. The bark is a pale grey and smooth when the individual is young. As the tree grows the bark becomes darker and cracks into slightly raised long plates. The largest known living red maple is located near Armada, Michigan, at a height of"
