Long before the arrival of the first European settlers, Canada's Aboriginal peoples had discovered the edible properties of maple sap. In 1860, at a public meeting held in Toronto, the maple leaf was adopted as the national emblem of Canada for use in the decorations for the Prince of Wales' visit. Red and white were designated as Canada's official colours in 1921 by His Majesty, King George V, in the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada.
The Maple has many varieties and is known for its brown color tones as well as ridges in the trunk. Of course the Maple is also famous for tapping the tree and making delicious Maple syrup. The vibrant colored leaves in the fall puts the Maple in a class of its own. The Oak features black and brown tones.
