Why is the maple leaf Canada's national symbol?
|
The maple tree is widespread in the southeast, and is an important part of Canadian culture. In the fall, tourists flock to the woods of Ontario to see the brilliant reds and yellows of the leaves. The most famous kind is the sugar maple. The sap is used to make maple syrup, traditionally put on pancakes. | | A large maple tree can produce up to 115 litres of sap in a single spring. The sap is made into maple sugar, used in flavourings. |
