Revisiting the “Comfort Maple”

Posted by MLF Webmaster on
 September 20, 2017

While visiting several of our nursery partners last week, Maple Leaves Forever stopped in Pelham to visit an “old friend”.

The Comfort Maple lives in a small parkette that can be found just off Metler Rd in Pelham. It grows on a small part of the land purchased by the Comfort family in 1816 and much later entrusted to the Niagara Region Conservation Authority to preserve and protect its historic and biological significance.

Ken believes this tree is truly an example of Darwin’s magic at work. Witness the seed he holds in his hand.
