−'''''Acer spicatum''''' ('''Mountain Maple''') is a species of [[maple]] native to northeastern [[North America]] from [[Saskatchewan]] to [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], and south to [[Pennsylvania]]. It also grows at high elevations in the southern [[Appalachian Mountains]] to northern [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]].

+It is a [[deciduous]] [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] growing to 3-8 m tall, forming a spreading crown with a short trunk and slender branches. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite and simple, 6-10 cm long and wide, with 3 or 5 shallow broad lobes. They are coarsely and irregularly toothed with a light green hairless surface and a finely hairy underside. The leaves turn brilliant yellow to red in autumn, and are on slender stalks usually longer than the blade. The bark is thin, dull gray-brown, and smooth at first but becoming slightly scaly. The [[fruit]] is a paired reddish [[samara (fruit)|samara]], 2-3 cm long, maturing in late summer to early autumn.
−The tree lives in moist woods in rich, well-drained soils on rocky hillsides and along streams. It also grows on ravines, cliff faces, and forested [[bog]]s. During [[ecological succession]], it colonizes the [[understory]] as [[pioneer species]] die.
