Maple

Maple is an impressive tree with a beautiful crown and large leaves that during the autumn changes colour like a spectacular firework. In Japan there is a tradition called Momijigari "chasing the autumn" were visitors from all around the country gather in their search for the most beautiful displays of autunm colour in the maple forrests. Except for its beauty, the maple also produces maple syrup which is made from the trees sap, the syrup is an almost obligatory topping for american style pancakes. 
It takes nearly 60 L of maple sap to produce 1 L of maple syrup, luckily the maple tree can grow to be up to 200 years old, plenty of time to produce sap. 

The maples' scent is sweet and woody, not unlike maple syrup but with a distinct dryness.
