The red maple tree is an early bloomer, typically beginning to flower well before other trees and usually a month or more prior to budding. "The flowers are small, with slender stalks, red or rarely yellowish, with petals," says the U.S. Forest Service. "they appear from March to May depending upon elevation and latitude."
