原來楓香不是楓樹哇!!我嚇到啦!!

小時後住在"楓樹里"   這個里種了很多楓香~

所以楓香是我最要好的朋友之一唷!!

聽說台灣的是互生葉是槭樹  如所謂 中原氏五掌裂槭

大陸  則以互生葉為楓樹

是如此嗎?請教格主

其實  植物分類學  以分子生物學為依據的觀點來辯識是最先進 的了

红枫还是最美。

我拍到的那株牌子上标明是红枫，可能因为水土或气候的原因，红不成您图片中的样子。

看枫树的特征，都是裂叶。

"農人通常在二至三月時在楓糖樹幹上鑽洞，使流出汁液，再加以蒸餾，即製成楓糖漿。"

Maple syrup cannot be made by distillation.  It is made by cooking/evaporation.  One pints of maple syrup is reduced from 40 pints of fluid dripped from maple tree in the very early spring.

You can find maple syrup making from the Youtube.

Reed:

I am glad to read your new and improved version. The taxonomy of this kind of plants is extremely confusing to say the least. So, try not to get into the details of classification. Let the professionals fight each other to death. It's their game/fight, not yours.

As to horse chestnut, I took some pictures in Xi'An last week. I will post them in my web site after I come back to the States. For American horse chestnut, you may refer to http://www.tulaoer.org/3-Biology/P/OBuckeye.html.

As to frosty red maple leaves, you may refer to http://www.tulaoer.org/1-Poems/3-Fall/F047.html. Your readers will understand that it's difficult for you to take pictures of frosty red maple leaves by the Gulf of Mexico.   :)))

謝謝Reed 介紹了這麼詳細的資料

讓我們又上了寶貴的一課!
