Vine maple (Acer circinatum) Samara of Combretum zeyheri. A samara (/ s ə ˈ m ɑːr ə /, UK also: / ˈ s æ m ər-/) [1] is a winged achene, [2] a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall. A samara is a simple dry fruit, and is indehiscent (not opening along a seam).
The fruit is a winged samara 20 mm long and 15 mm broad, with a ... In 1998, over 700 healthy, mature trees were discovered on the upper slopes of Mount Šimonka ...
The yellow flowers are androdioecious, produced in small pendent corymbs in spring, the fruit being a paired samara with two winged seeds about 1 cm long with a 3 cm wing. [ 4 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] Cultivation and uses
The fruit is a samara with two winged achenes aligned at 180°, each achene is 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) wide, flat, with a 2 cm (0.79 in) wing. [3] [4] The two varieties, not accepted as distinct by all authorities, are: [3] [5] Acer campestre var. campestre - downy fruit; Acer campestre var. leiocarpum (Opiz) Wallr. (syn.
The fruit is a samara; the seeds are about 27 mm (1.1 in) long and 11 mm (0.43 in) broad, with a wing angle of 145° and a conspicuously veined pedicel. [3] [4] [5] The bloom period for Acer pensylvanicum is around late spring. [6] The spelling pensylvanicum is the one originally used by Carl Linnaeus. [citation needed]
The sugar maple will generally begin flowering when it is between 10 and 200 years old. The fruit is a pair of samaras (winged seeds). The seeds are globose, 7–10 mm (9 ⁄ 32 – 13 ⁄ 32 in) in diameter, the wing 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long. The seeds fall from the tree in autumn, where they must be exposed to 45 days of ...
The fruit is a paired winged samara, each seed1–1.5 cm (3 ⁄ 8 – 5 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter with a 4–5 cm (1 + 5 ⁄ 8 –2 in) wing. [11] [9] [8] Bigleaf maple begins bearing seed at about ten years of age. [10] In May 2018 the oldest two Oregon maples in Europe, 175 years old, were removed from Trinity College Dublin (TCD), Ireland. The ...
A fruit cluster may contain hundreds of seeds. [7] The seeds borne on the female trees are 5 mm (0.2 in) in diameter and each is encapsulated in a samara that is 2.5 cm (1 in) long and 1 cm (0.4 in) broad, appearing July through August, but can persist on the tree until the next spring. [12]
