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; 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 fruit is a pair of winged samaras, each samara 2–3 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) long with a 6–8 mm (1 ⁄ 4 – 5 ⁄ 16 in) seed. The seeds of Acer palmatum and similar species require stratification in order to germinate. [9] [10]
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 samara, elliptical to ovate-elliptical, 10–13 mm long by 6–8 mm broad. [3] The samara is mostly glabrous, the seed at the centre or toward the apex, is borne on a stalk 1–3 mm in length; it matures rapidly and disperses by late autumn. The trunk has a handsome, flaking bark of mottled greys with tans and reds, giving rise ...
The fruit is a double samara with two rounded, winged seeds, the wings 1.5–3 centimetres (0.59–1.18 in) long, spread at an acute angle. [3] [5] [6] It is one of the most drought- and heat-tolerant species in the genus, occurring on dry, sunny hillsides at moderate elevations.
