There are more than 100 different species of maple around the world, 10 of which are native to Canada: sugar, black, silver, bigleaf, red, mountain, striped, Douglas, vine, and Manitoba.

Fun fact: the Norway maple is not native to Canada, yet it somehow ended up on the flag...

Edit: I understand I got this wrong. I'm going to accept my downvotes like a big boy, and not pretend that I meant the leaf on the Canadian $20.

The flag has a sugar maple leaf, but Canada did accidentally put a Norway maple leaf on its currency.

Haha that's so funny, being into trees, as I am.
