Although the autumn maple leaves are short-lived, they live up to the beauty of life. After burning, they pass away gracefully and come back next year.
This yearOntario, Canadaofred leavesIt’s been a long time and many people are posting beautiful photos on the Internet. Even Taiwanese singersRen XianqiAll ran totorontoI checked into a small park in Markham City in the north and marveled at how beautiful the red leaves are in Toronto. I casually walked into Ray Street Park next to my residence and it was so beautiful. His handsome photos made the small park famous overnight, but the name was passed on to the Chinese as Ren Xianqi Park.
The center of Canada’s flag is a red maple leaf, and the song “Maple Leaves Forever” is equivalent to Canada’s national anthem. The second verse of the Canadian national anthem “Oh Canada” also contains such lyrics: “Oh Canada! Where the pines and maples grow.” The maple tree is Canada’s national symbol. In fact, there are more than 100 maple trees in the world, most of which are native to Asia. There are only 10 native tree species in Canada, including sugar maple, black maple, silver maple, and big leaf maple. bigleaf maple), red maple, mountain maple, striped maple, Douglas maple, vine maple and Manitoba maple maple). The tree shape, leaf shape, flower shape, fruit shape, and autumn colors are all different.
So why is Canada called the Maple Leaf Country? Canadian maple varieties are generally tall, with lush branches and broad leaves. Canada’s humid and slightly cold climate is very suitable for the growth of maple trees. The endless maple forests all over the mountains and plains render the Canadian land colorful in autumn. People usually think that maple leaves in autumn are red. However, maple leaves in Canada come in various colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, zong, crimson, pink, etc. Some varieties, such as sugar maples, will appear on the same tree due to exposure to light. Most of them have gradient colors from vermilion, orange, yellow and green, which is as romantic as a dream; while some maple trees, such as the red maple in the background of Ren Xianqi’s check-in, the leaves of the entire tree become bright red at the same time, brilliant and enthusiastic.

Their flowers and fruits are also different in color. The ripening time of the fruit is also different. The fruits of sugar maples fall in spring and summer, and some maple trees lose their leaves but the fruits do not fall.

This variety has almost all its leaves and still has large bunches of fruit on the tree. Behind it is the resident’s own Japanese maple, each corner of the leaf is slender.
Sugar maple and red maple (Suger maple and red maple) are beautiful deciduous trees often used by garden designers in the landscape design of the site. They are all native species. In our designs, we usually try to use as many local species as possible, especially in places with environmental protection requirements. All local species will be used. Because Canada attaches great importance to environmental protection, it is definitely not like some people imagine that Canada does not attach importance to environmental protection because there are many wild lands. The government does not allow the invasion of alien species.

The combination of red maple and sugar maple is also beautiful.
Spring comes late in Canada and is short-lived. It’s already summer before everyone feels the blooming spring flowers. However, the Creator is fair and has given Canada autumn leaves that are even more spectacular and lush than spring flowers. Moreover, the shape and color of the leaves are like flowers. They fall on the ground and in the water. Compared with the colorful fallen leaves of flowers, the fallen leaves can cover the ground magnificently, like a flower carpet.

Native maple trees decorate Canadian cities, and they are even more spectacular in their own territories—in the mountains, forests, and beside water systems. In autumn, Canadians love walking in the woods, just like walking through a gallery.

But maple fruits are inedible, but maple trees contribute another delicacy—maple sugar. Maple syrup, also known as Maple syrup in English, is the sap produced from sugar maple trees. It is drained from sugar maple trees like rubber is cut from rubber trees. Maple sugar is rich in nutrients, including minerals, organic acids and vitamins. It has lower calories than sucrose, fructose, corn sugar, etc., but contains much higher calcium, magnesium and organic acids than other sugars, which can supplement nutritional imbalances. weak constitution. For such high-quality and difficult-to-collect syrup, the price is certainly high among sugars. Canada is the only region in the world where the quality and quantity of maple sap can meet the “pure maple” standard. About 83% of the world’s maple syrup is produced in Canada, with Quebec accounting for 90% of it. The maple sugar industry is Canada’s unique export industry. This yield also illustrates the large proportion of maple trees in Canada.
Although the autumn maple leaves are short-lived, they live up to the beauty of life. After burning, they pass away gracefully and come back next year. I combined the video of the maple tree and the beautiful pictures into one video, and sang the most beautiful maple leaf song in Chinese, “Maple Leaf Love”, to commemorate the maple leaves that brought people beautiful reverie and then drifted away this year…
