For my science discovery this week I did the Crimson King Norway Maple Tree. It got the name because of it's crimson colored leaves throughout the summer. In the autumn the leaves turn yellow. The leaves average 7 inches across and have five sharply pointed lobes. (The leaves resemble sugar maple leaves.) In the summer the tree has purple fruits and yellow flower clusters in the spring. It's scientific name is acer platanoides and it is in the Sapindaceae family. Crimson King Norway Maple trees are deciduous and are native to Eastern Europe. It's average height is 30 to 40 feet tall and its spread averages 20 to 40 feet.
