Today I revisited my tree in Centennial Woods. From my knowledge, I believe this tree is a red maple (Acer rubrum). The tree’s buds and bark are consistent with that of a red maple. Upon examining the tree, however, I did not notice any discernable changes. This is not surprising though. In colder climates, Vermont for example, red maples tend to bloom later in the season as opposed to those warmer more southern climates. In Vermont, red maples are known to bloom most often in late March into April.
Lastly, here is an upload of the screenshot of this tree in iNaturalist 🙂
