How to play
Tap it to send a gust through. Hands-on: shake the trunk and the leaves spin down.
Notes
Leaves are green in summer because of chlorophyll, the stuff that catches sunlight; in autumn the tree stops making it, so yellow and orange pigments show through, and many maples also make new red ones. Its seeds have wings and spin down like little helicopters.
Tap it and a whirling gust tears leaves off and carries them around the tree in a widening spiral before they settle in a ring on the grass; then fresh leaves open. Maple syrup is made by boiling down maple sap: about 40 liters of sap make 1 liter of syrup. With ✋ Hands-on on, shake the trunk and the leaves spin down like real maple leaves.
