Is it an Acer saccharum, Acer rubrum, or Acer palmatum? Given each tree has different traits and growing requirements, it’s important to ask for the right maple tree (common name) to plant in your landscape. Join horticulturist Zannah Crowe for her presentation “Botanical Names – What’s in a Name?” to learn how to decode the hidden descriptions, origins, and relationships of plants. “A plant’s ‘scientific name’ can provide helpful clues about the plant,” Zannah said, “everything from flower color to leaf structure to growing conditions.”
