What is the state tree of Vermont?

The state tree of Vermont is the sugar maple. This tree is well-known for its bright autumn foliage, which turns vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. The sugar maple is also the primary source of maple syrup, which is a significant agricultural product in Vermont. The tree thrives in the state’s cold winters and temperate summers. Its sap is collected in early spring and processed into syrup, a tradition that dates back to Vermont’s colonial era. The sugar maple was designated as the state tree in 1949 and represents Vermont’s strong agricultural and forestry heritage.
