Like the sugar maple, tapped to make great maple syrup. We assume its wood is also made into hardwood floors and furniture.
Acer hosts caterpillars of 285 species
of butterflies and moths, in some areas.
This plant is also known to be a host for (in areas where invasive)
🐝︎ spotted lanternfly (SLF) Lycorma delicatula.
