The maple tree symbolizes strength, transformation, and abundance. Known for its robust trunk and vibrant, colorful leaves, the maple represents enduring strength and the ability to adapt to changing seasons. Its leaves turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow in the fall, reflecting the beauty of transformation and the richness of change. The maple is also associated with abundance, as it produces the sweet maple syrup and its seeds scatter widely, symbolizing the spreading of prosperity and opportunity. The leaf is the national symbol of Canada.
