9. Japanese Maple Flowers and Seeds

Japanese maples have both male and female flowers on the same plant, which cuts down on the pollen. These flowers, which form reddish, umbrella-shaped clusters, are small. Many people don't even notice them when they arrive in late spring. After pollination, the tree forms a winged seed called a samara. Samaras ripen between September and October and are scattered by the wind.
