Box Elder Maple Seeds


Box Elder Maple is a tree with leaves that are not readily recognizable as a maple.  In fact, if you don't pay close attention, Box Elder saplings would look somewhat like poison ivy.

The seeds are maple seeds. When they fall from the tree they spin like helicopters blades.


Another interesting characteristic is that the branch is green and not brown or gray like other trees. This makes the tree easy to identify in the winter.



It is the seeds that are the defining part of identifying plants. It is the seed that reproduces and keeps the species going.

Followers of Christ will win others who will follow Christ. Are we followers of Christ? Jesus said to follow Him and bring people to salvation and a life of following Jesus. Matthew 4:19 "And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

Let us not forget what we are about.

Father, I dedicate my days to follow your Son, Jesus.
